This document discusses concepts and methods for applying Kaizen, or continuous improvement, in lean manufacturing. It covers:
1) Utilizing existing systems and knowledge through selection and arrangement rather than new creation.
2) Learning from past thinkers and applying existing solutions creatively.
3) Applying knowledge through evaluation, inquiry, and selection based on field conditions.
4) Improving processes by using existing features and auxiliary tools more efficiently.

1. Practical Use of Current System
1. Information Age
There is an era of gathering and absorbing the knowledge one wants
efficiently. Innovation has mostly already been developed. It has become
official. After that, it is important how to leverage that knowledge to cords.
Creative choice
Componentization
System Machine
Information
Utilizing the current system!!

2. Learning and Creative Choice
There are already ancestors from BC who came up with creative
thoughts. Things that created by geniuses like Socrates,
Plato, Buddha, etc. have already been documented in a book.
We can learn and select the thoughts which have been thought by
the ancestors. We now have a duty free and creative
editing to coding network simply by selecting from the
choices given.
“The master said: “ If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge, so as
continually to be acquiring new, he may be a teacher to others.””
Confucius

4. Kaizen’s Standard Tactics of
Application of ○
Use the features, services and tools efficiently.
The wrong idea of creating anything new is Kaizen.
There is Kaizen by selecting an existing use.
It is reasonable to learn, arrange and select the
Kaizen pattern faster.

5. Kaizen of Functional Utilization
Improvements carried out by using existing features. To do
so, you must learn the features priorly.
Before Kaizen After Kaizen
Lost of data when the PC runs
out of battery.
Add an auto-save features.
Working with some current stuff!

6. Kaizen of Auxiliary Tools
Auxiliary Tools:
① Time ② Stamp ③ Magnet ④ Glass
⑤ Clip
Using auxiliary tools to make the job easier!

7. The 3 Stages of The Application of
Auxiliary Tool
1. Current use:
100¥ Shop, obtaining something without delaying at the home
centre.
2. Betterment:
To combine with the present condition and process the
commercial product.
3. Production:
Combine and make use of the things that are already available.
Select and implement the better condition out of the constraints.

8. Kaizen of Can Be Done by One Person
There were 2 persons in charged of the inspection of the ramp of
the car in an automotive repair shop: the one on the driver’s seat
and the one outside the car.
Before Kaizen After Kaizen
Examine the ramp by 2 persons. Place the mirrors in front of and the
back side of the car and make it
possible to examine the ramp alone.
Attrition!
