Eliminating all of the non-value adding wastes through the creative power of all workers by focusing on customer service is the essence of Lean manufacturing. Your customer is the next person or process that receives your work and the customer should not have to pay for defects, moving things, wasted motion, inspection, set-up time, excess inventory and waiting. The fastest way to adding value is to enlist, empower, and involve every worker in the creative improvement process. Just stop and ask your employees, “What do you think? How would you make your work easier and more interesting? How would you improve customer service? How would you improve the quality of your products?”

Dana Corporation last received close to 2,000,000 improvement ideas from its workers. This is not a suggestion system where you submit an idea for someone else to install. The employee who comes up with the idea actually implements it.

You can tell people what and how to do things but there is much more power given to the organization when you learn how to ask employees for their improvement ideas. Quick and Easy Kaizen will allow employees to have meaningful input into decision making, improve relations and communications, make work easier and make work more interesting.
