The Kaizen attitude requires a willingness to accommodate permanent change. This means a daily hunt to eliminate Muda and a willingness to improve within the framework of a 3-stage process: Identify the Muda, isolate it and eliminate it. Continual improvement means creating a standard work reference and then improving it continually. LeanTek is therefore a tool for implementing Kaizen.

Kaizen is in action in these workshops. The minimum of space is being used and the transition to small containers has been made. The lines are in U-configuration and forklift trucks have been eliminated.

The solutions of customized flow racks and front picking have also been implemented.

Kaizen is the true driving force behind the implementation of Lean Manufacturing.

The LeanTek system is the tool that makes this possible. The simpler the system is to implement, the faster Kaizen will lead on to further stages, JIT and Jidoka.

Increasing production density requires logistics systems that are flexible enough to adapt to the existing environment in order, for example, to use the space between machines. The aim is to produce more without investing in new production areas.

Kaizen and LeanTek facilitate the optimization of space, thus generating considerable savings and boosting the return on investment.
