Kaizen Stories, episode fourteen "Water Spider!"

That's right; you could be performing better than you were before if you embrace the opportunity that lays in front of your organisation, as you go back to work. 

As your people go back into the workplace, especially if your organisation was not heavily involved in continuous improvement before.

The most significant barrier to getting started with a continuous improvement program is getting people on board to the idea of change.

Listen to the podcast for my thoughts on this:

Kaizen Stories, episode thirteen "You scratch my back and I will scratch yours!"  

Country - UK City - Derby  Welcome to episode thirteen of our series of videos, this one looks to how a factory which is running frequent Kaizens hits a machine for the third time. 

After reducing the batch size, it is now necessary to further reduce the time needed to set up or change the machine over.   

Each one is focussed on sharing valuable lessons, experiences, and findings while running a Kaizen workshop. 

These are all true stories, some of the details are withheld to protect the privacy of the organisations they were running in.  

Please feel free to feedback if you were able to take away value from these stories.  We have many topics already filmed and still to be filmed, so if you have a need to know something specific let us know.

I had the opportunity to talk with Hanna on my favourite subject continuous improvement, we talked about how we have had to change the way we work in these strange times of isolation.

You heard of the saying we've always done it this way, during a kaizen event you'll hear it a lot. In this episode, we hear how the team discover that two people working on the same process are able to overcome lots of non-value-added activity.

Rafael B. Castillo from the Change Your Mindset podcast interviews Paul Glenn, gaining an understanding of his journey into CI.

The first hurdle to climb when running Kaizen events in your operations is committing to the actual resource needed to build your team. Those that know Kaizen well have full confidence that it will reap big rewards. In this Kaizen we talked about a plant manager who agrees to Run three Kaizens simultaneously on three different areas of his plant.

A controversial topic is goal-setting. A lot of people will be tempted to set manageable goals when running Kaizen events in their operations; I too fell in this trap in the early days. The power of Kaizen is its ability to smash paradigms and get people thinking outside the box, so achieving massive changes is almost a given.
