Practical Guide to Organizing On-Site Issues with Keep, Problem, and Try, Leading to Continuous Improvement Activities
In the manufacturing field, even when improvement activities are conducted, there are challenges such as "success factors not being retained," "problems being held by individuals," and "improvement measures ending with just 'being careful'." This document provides a clear explanation of the KPT method, which reflects on the three elements of Keep, Problem, and Try, specifically for the manufacturing industry. It introduces a four-step process from the basic concepts to preparing the format, listing Keep and Problem, discussing them, and determining specific Try actions. Examples of utilization for both individuals and teams, such as in new employee training, daily reports, regular reports, quality control, and project improvement, are also included. Furthermore, it introduces the use of the production management system FUSE to continue and verify the decided improvement measures, providing hints to connect reflections to practice. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Applications/Examples of results
It can be utilized for regular reflections on the manufacturing site, quality improvement, business improvement, new employee training, daily reports and regular reports, project reflections, and more. We share the success factors we want to reproduce in "Keep," specify issues in "Problem," and translate them into actionable improvement measures in "Try," such as the introduction of inspection checklists and the review of equipment layout. Additionally, by utilizing the production management system FUSE, we can centrally manage information such as orders, items, processes, inventory, and work performance, supporting comparisons of situations before and after improvements and effectiveness verification. The materials also include case studies of companies that have implemented FUSE, such as reducing delivery delays by one-third, shortening management time by one-fourth, and halving work arrangements. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
