Gemba Kaizen

Masaaki Imai

For Gemba Kaizen to succeed, self-disciplined employees must be engaged at every level, and managers must also be fully involved. Nevertheless, the Kaizen philosophy can simplify, revolutionize and thrive your company with a few simple, practical techniques. To solve any problem, ask five questions. Apply the five-why technique the next time you try to resolve an issue. Whenever a problem arises, ask why more than five times. For instance: Why is absenteeism increasing? Why are there many injuries at the Gemba? Why is the floor slippy? Why is there a leak in one of the machines? Why doesn’t the valve close tightly? It won't be long before you find the answer!
