Kanban/Pull System Kaizen
Kanban Kaizens are focused on making rapid improvements in both process cycle time and on-time delivery. Results are realized through the implementation of generic pull systems to control manufacturing cycle times and/or the elimination of part shortages via replenishment pull systems. These kanban systems rely on highly visual factory control tools, which are both easy to understand and operate, allowing shop floor employees to quickly take ownership of and maintain/update the systems.

Typical results:

• 20% improvement in direct and indirect labor productivity
• Elimination of part shortages.
• 50-70% reduction in cycle time
• 50-70% reduction in WIP inventory
