When visiting the site of Company B in Southeast Asia, I observed numerous inefficiencies. The essence of improvement activities lies in eliminating waste. Any work within the operation that does not add value is considered wasteful.
Improvement cannot occur without everyone recognizing what constitutes waste. At the kickoff for improvement activities, to enable envisioning the ideal state of the workplace, everyone from the plant manager to all management and working staff learned about various forms of waste.
～various wastes～
waste of transportation waste of inventory waste of movement
waste of equipment waste of defects waste of layout
organizational waste waste of waiting waste of management
waste of inspection Waste of work itself・・・・

There must be the shop floor issues that cannot be solved by your own company alone. Improvements and reforms for manufacturing industry to survive, regardless of country or industry, need development of your human resources through practical experiences of improvement, and strengthening of your production system base.
REASON 2
Consulting that shop floor workers acknowledge our superiority and be pleased
In conventional consulting styles, there was a distance between consultant and the shop floor because it was promoted mainly consultant and management executives. Our consultant can provide a guidance without a distance between consultant and the shop floor through the guidance based on the “seeds of improvement” in a concrete way, instead of “finding fault” like a critic.
REASON 3
Continuous improvement will continue even after the end of guidance
While strengthening “human resource development”, we focus on the “overall flow” from design to purchasing, manufacturing, logistics, and production control, and provide guidance that matches the actual situation of your company. Continuous improvement will continue even after the end of guidance through the guidance that is acceptable to the shop floor workers.
