Lean Enterprise Study Mission: Japan Kaikaku Experience
Kaikaku: radical change, transformation, a revolution
While Kaizen is essential for a long-term Lean transformation, at the beginning and at several critical phases, kaikaku is necessary to break paradigms and elevate the awareness of people to a higher level of understanding. Often we must radically change the way we do business in order to get dramatic improvement, and nothing helps that more than the whole leadership team believing in the change and having a clear vision as to where that will lead the organization.
Our Lean enterprise study mission delivers a kaikaku experience to transform the mindset through a full-body experience. We have led over 60 lean study missions through more than 80 world class facilities in Japan , delivering the mental kaikaku experience to over 1,100 people.
Our clients have found that the Japan Kaikaku Experience (JKE) is the best approach to setting the vision of what Lean will look like and being the catalyst for culture change among the company's leadership team. This is why over 80% of our customers on the JKE tours are repeat customers.
What We Do on the JKE
The companies we visit have integrated the management philosophies into continuous day to day improvement.
What We See
We build relationships with companies in Japan who we believe are world leaders in kaizen. These companies have been doing kaizen in some form for between 5 and 50 years. Each company has an active Suggestion System whereby employees suggest and implement 1 to 3 ideas per month, per person.
Each company faces unique challenges and has adapted Toyota Production System (TPS) principles faithfully but flexibly. It is a sign of their commitment to Lean thinking that they are willing to show us the best of what they have done, believing that by sharing their knowledge they will themselves be challenged to rise to the next level.
What We Learn
The companies we visit have integrated the management philosophies with day to day execution of improvement activity. The results that they have generated over the years are dramatic. As an example, Toku Manufacturing is able to run nearly 300 machines with 35 people, all because of the advanced level of Jidoka (Low Cost Intelligent Automation) that they have achieved.
"Transformed - there are no other words to describe what has taken place in our manufacturing process. Today our company is so efficient, and so focused on eliminating every possible waste that we make our competition look like they're standing still! " Paul Akers, President
