Kaizen

KKTM Mara, located on 0,96 acre at Petaling Jaya, Selangor, is one of the institutions providing studies in the field of Electronic Engineering. KKTM was established in 1972 and known as Institut Kemahiran MARA, Petaling Jaya. Preliminary courses provided at first year establishment are related to the courses such as Sewing, Make-up and fashion. Starting in 1982, the programs offered have been converted into a program of Mechanical and Architectural Drawings and next in 1986, to Electronics Industry

To what extent can improvements in productive flow and product quality lead to an increase in sales and profit? Use examples to critically examine the links. Sales and Profit are both critical goals in a company. If managers don’t achieve these goals, the company is gradually going to consume its capital and inevitably fail. That’s why they put so many attention on them and why they are always searching for new methods to increase them. In fact, there are many ways that can help making sales

employees to be active in the continuous improvement of our product. This is not only done by making everybody accountable for their actions, but also by harnessing their innovation, thus increasing their motivation. For individuals there is the Kaizen program and as a group there is NHC (New Honda Circle). An NH Circle is a small group of Associates working together, voluntarily, to improve their own work area, which in turn allows for better communication, improved teamwork and job satisfaction

PDCA Outline Plan The first step of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle is plan. The planning step of the cycle is extremely important and crucial to the success of the project. I undertook this exact issue as a process improvement project early on in my career and already went through the exercise of analyzing the account activity and assigning a risk score to each and every balance sheet account. At the time, there were 854 individual balance sheet accounts that needed reconciled. Currently this

CAC ASSIGNMENT Milan Dave A-14 Submitted to: Prof. Parag Soni KAIZEN COSTING: DEFINITION: * Kaizen Costing is the process of continuously reducing the costs that occur after a product design has been completed and is now in production. * Here, the costs can be reduced by working with the suppliers to reduce the costs in their processes; by implementing less costly re-designs of the product, or by reducing waste costs i.e. the costs behind the wastage of time, raw material and the

5 Why Sakichi Toyoda, one of the fathers of the Japanese industrial revolution, developed this technique in the 1930s. He was an industrialist, inventor and founder of Toyota industries. His technique became popular in the 1970s and Toyota still uses it to solve problems today. Toyota has a “go and see” philosophy which means that its decision making is based upon an in-depth understanding of the processes and conditions on the shop floor, rather than reflecting what someone in a boardroom thinks

materials should be relieved from the assembly line and who should perform this function. The assembly line workstation should include a materials disposition process at the end of each day, or during the change-over time to the next model variant. Kaizen is the Japanese term meaning continuous improvement, derived from two concepts: Kai, meaning change, and Zen, meaning to improve (Sanchez & Blanco, 2014). Credit is given to Masaaki Imai, who is considered to be the father of continuous improvement

The 5 days enhancement project that being planned and conducted in factory production line to determine and eliminate the waste and also to achieve more value added processes. Kaizen normally focuses on eliminating the waste, improving the overall productivity with continual improvement in a small area. There are basically 7 types of wastes in the manufacturing which are defective products, overproduction, inventories, excess
