KAIZEN derives from the combination of two Japanese words:

• KAI (change)
• ZEN (improve)

 

It means to change for the better

Indeed, the KAIZEN methodology aims to analysing and improving the operational effectiveness and performance of the company, through people involvement.

 

The LEAN CUP for Q1 2022 has been assigned to “the Electric Motors Supermarket” project.

Before the material calls from the assembly lines were done manually, with consequent slow-down of the production pace.

 

From a Lean perspective, the client always comes first, and analysing the TAKT time, the KAIZEN Team has developed a Supermarket that allows an  highly-efficient material  supply  to the assembly lines, with replenishment of the components as soon they are utilized.

 

The new call-in system has allowed a significative WIP reduction, an  optimal picking from the warehouse, avoiding  manual handling and line-stops.

 

Well done Sergio Arletti, Ramona Cassiani, Francesco Barozzi, Stefano Ferrari, Sofia Paolucci, Ernesto Rossi, Pasqualino Ciccone, Davide Serri, Franco Tomei, Andrea Vannacci and Federico Cavalieri.
