Continuous Improvement with Mastermind Shruti Bhat Series: Advantages of Kaizen Methodology

11/9/2013

0 Comments

 
The term Kaizen come from a Japanese phrase that means “continuous improvement”. It uses the Japanese judgment of improving the workplace internally in order to bring about desired results. Kaizen can be implemented in a variety of ways, either to fix a specific problem or to change the entire structure of a business. Either way, it is a combination of minor improvements that end up having major profits. Common results of Kaizen include increased productivity, better quality, improved safety, quicker delivery, reduced costs and superior customer satisfaction. ​
what are advantages of kaizen methodology
It is also beneficial to the employee’s within a company. Companies that implement the Kaizen methodology tend to have employees that actually enjoy what they do and find their work to be satisfactory. Satisfied employees have been found to increase a company’s productivity due to their own initiative and standard. Employees that are happy in their companies are also more loyal. 
  
Kaizen methodology significantly lowers  waste in many aspects of the company, including time, energy, production,  inventory, quality and in stages. It has been found to increase quality of the product, use of money, production size, area utilization, employee preservation and communications. 

It is also one of the best and faster methods to bring about the desired results. It is typical for Kaizen to work on smaller problems of the company that end up having a positive affect on larger problems. Kaizen has also been found to increase processes and future processes as well due to the small changes that improve procedures and lower waste. 
 
Perhaps one of the most unique and interesting aspects about Kaizen is that it works directly with the employees and adds value to individuals, which is often neglected in companies. Employees that are trained in the processes and feel like a valued member of a company are more willing to implement and speak out about positive changes and ideas. Those that have self-esteem and satisfaction at their job are more efficient and happy as well. 

In this methodology, every single employee is involved and encouraged to look for their own set of problems within their role and sector. They are asked to analyze, review and solve problems to their capability, which ends up having an effect on the company for a much longer period of time. Companies that have implemented Kaizen have received much more employee suggestions than companies that don’t and most of these suggested end up being applied.​
