What is Kaizen in Warehouse | Business Management

Today we are learn about What is Kaizen in Warehouse : Kaizen is a Japanese word that means “change for the better” or “continuous improvement.” It is a Japanese business philosophy about processes that continuously improve warehouse operations and include all employees. Kaizen sees productivity improvement as a gradual and methodological process.

Kaizen’s concept encompasses a wide range of ideas. This includes making the work environment more conducive and effective by creating a team environment, improving birthday processes, ensuring employee engagement and making the job more fulfilling, less tired and safer.

What is Kaizen?

Kaizen is a Japanese word consisting of two words. KAI + ZEN which means CHANGE + GOOD (Change for the Good) Any change that we can make to Improvement is called KAIZEN.

In this, we keep making small Improvement changes, which increases the production Productivity and reduces the Waste Hue.

Every person at any Warehouse or any working place, whether it is a house-keeping cleaning man or a staff in the office, every person who is working, make small improvements every day or in the vicinity. It is called KAIZEN. If this happens then the company or shop or any organization will grow day by day.

Usually three types of waste are seen in an organization or warehouse and company, which often go unnoticed. Let us look at the first three reasons.

Three Types of Waste in Warehouse or company

1.People waste 2. Quality Waste 3.Quantity waste

People waste

People waste occurs mostly for three reasons

1. Over processing 2. Unnecessary Motion or movement 3. Waiting

Over processing

Over processing : to do more than what is required. Once the inspection is checked, inspecting it for the second time or maintaining something once, then saying and keeping it a second time and keeping it for the third time is called useless.

Just like once cleaning was done then second time cleaning was done which was not required, yet we have done it.

Unnecessary Motion or movement

Unnecessary Motion or movement – Any kind of Motion or Movement like you are moving things from here or moving a file or folder of a computer, moving it around it is called Motion. , We should not make a meaningful movement. We cannot stop it but it can be worked, with the help of kaizen

Waiting

Waiting – Any type of Waiting that is there can be waste. If your shop is closed due to shopkeepers, or the machine is shut down due to malfunction, or the company is shut down due to lack of power, or because of lack of Internet, you are not able to email anyone from the computer.

Because of INTERNET, for any such reason you or your employees are sitting and doing WAIT is called WASTE. IDENTIFY all such WASTE and KAIZEN on it and improve it.

Quality Waste

There are three types of quality waste

1. Inventory 2. Over Production 3. Transportation

Inventory

Inventory Whatever kind of inventory, whether it is progressing or doing good work, every kind of inventory is a big waste. If a large number of inventory is being stored, then understand that your work is not doing well or has stopped.

Over Production

Over Production – Over production is considered to be a huge waste, if you do a lot of production, it will cause a shortage of space, and this will generate a lot of problems like material not traceable etc.

Transportation

Transportation – Any company warehouse or company has transportation. If you make a material movement without any meaning then it is waste. Or if there is no VALUE ADD from any transportation, then we should immediately stop unnecessary transportation, otherwise it will be called Transport Waste.

Quantity waste

Quantity is from waste defects – if the rejection or rework in your warehouse or company is too much, then it is a huge waste, it can have many other reasons like: Man, Machine, Materials, Method, Measurement and Environment can be our defectives due to any of these reasons, we have to control them

If there is no control, then CUSTOMER will have the defective SUPPLY, and if returned and sent back, the COST will also increase, and CUSTOMER will also not receive SATISFACTIONS.
