**Seminar Points** Improvement means changing standards for the better. There can be no improvement where there are no standards. If there are no standards, start by creating them. Standards are "rules." What to decide are "procedures," "methods," and "timing." This seminar is focused on determining "procedures" and creating "work instruction documents." **"Without standards, there is no improvement" — Learning from Toyota's teachings on documentation in the workplace** The source of Toyota's strength lies in the concepts of "improvement" and "standardization." At the core of this is a culture of making insights and skills visible in the workplace and documenting them. In other words, it is a system of knowledge transfer through documentation. Relying on the experience and intuition of veterans can be a strength in the workplace, but it also carries the risk that quality may change when people change. By ensuring that everyone performs tasks in the same way, we can achieve the same quality products (good products) in the same amount of time. First and foremost, the development of "work instruction documents" is essential. When presenting work instruction documents in video format, it is also a prerequisite that this "foundational document" is well established. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

5S is the starting point for improvement | Creating a system to discover waste and abnormalities on the shop floor through visualization. Learn how to effectively implement 5S in a way that connects causes to results in just three hours. 【Target Audience】 - On-site leaders - Improvement personnel in workplaces where 5S is not sustained - Those who want to learn about the Toyota Production System 【Expected Changes After Participation】 - Consistent judgment criteria reduce hesitation - Reduced search time stabilizes work - A "flowing workplace" where only necessary items remain - Leaders become "communicative individuals" 【Recommendation for Participation】 What is the purpose of implementing 5S? Even after organizing and tidying up, things quickly return to their original state. Waste such as searching for, transporting, and retrieving items does not disappear. Despite engaging in 5S activities, improvements in quality and productivity are not realized. In such a situation, the act of doing 5S itself may have become the goal. In essence, 5S is the starting point for improvement. It involves determining "what is necessary and what is unnecessary," deciding "where and how to place items for easier work," and creating a workplace that can recognize abnormalities and waste. This seminar will teach not just the methods of organizing and tidying up, but also the thinking and practical approaches of 5S that lead to results.

Mistakes, inconsistencies, anxiety, and turnover that occur on the manufacturing floor are often caused by the way things are taught. In this course, we will combine the proven TWI-JI (Job Instruction, 4 Steps) used in the manufacturing industry with rapport-building techniques that foster trust on the shop floor, enabling participants to acquire standardized teaching skills that anyone can replicate. With the fundamental attitude that "the failure to remember is not the learner's problem, but rather a flaw in the design of the teaching method," participants will master the correct teaching procedures that can be applied to training new employees, skill transfer, and guiding foreign workers, ultimately achieving reductions in mistakes, prevention of inconsistencies, improvements in productivity, and lower turnover rates. When teaching changes, the workplace changes. This training supports essential improvements in the manufacturing industry, preventing reliance on specific individuals and creating standardized work processes, all aimed at creating a "growing workplace" where everyone can work safely, quickly, and correctly. 【Recommended for】 - Those who feel that their teaching is not progressing because learners do not remember what is taught. - Those struggling with a workplace where methods are changed arbitrarily. - Those confused about whether mistakes are due to the individual or the teaching method. - Those wanting to reassess their training system because younger or new employees are not sticking around. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
