1 sms text to his co-worker: "Hey remember that vertical screw set we had for the engine bay guys last week, bring it over for the TV crew I got something here". That's what Kaizen is all about. Communication and coordination. They didn't build it, they already been there.
ofc not, that if probably what they used normally. Funny thing is that you have to put a screw on your bit by a hand, everybody else is using screw dispencers + magnetic bits, so you don't even touch a screw with your hand.. not talking about holding 2nd screw in your hand while you have to screw in 1st one, imagine you drop it and then what? Dispence EXACTLY 2pcs again? Very pathetic improvement
This is serious stuff,I do these kind of things at my work where Kaizen is not even known, and people around me think I am some kind of wizard after a few days. This stuff is true power folks.
@@Yourmom-fl7nr I make tiny improvements in everything, and as weeks go by it builds like a vortex. For example I straighten picture frames as I go along, and that alone has people saying wow, the place looks cleaner, or putting small things away in their place.

I’m sure you think people think you are a wizard but I’m sure people don’t care 😂 unless the whole company culture is lean I think most people think this stuff is just random and a waste of time, unfortunately.
I work at a toyota plant and the stretching thing is only for TV shows and tourists. Kaizen is real but often times people change good things into bad things and then back again
dispenser that has screw in right position, drill bit is magnetized, now you can have the screw automatically placed and you can go in with the screw without even having to place it on
The Japanese are very wise people. There is no doubt about it and that is the reason why the brand value perspective Toyota is the most expensive among car brands
Japanese are over disciplined. It's failing their adaptability. They are pretty much unable to think outside the box at some point. Doesn't make the philosophy wrong tho.
kaizen culture is very important. Because, we improve, So, company improve. I am working as a logistic assistans in Toyota motor manufacturing of Turkiye. Kaizen is very important for us.
Here in France if someone came with that idea, first of all he would be hated by all others and then the factory would go on strike for 6 months and then 2 years to get the letter to the department head and then 1 year for him to read and during all this time it's time for new President and it will never happen.
It's just already been done, on another level. They probably have already perfected that position for the employee who most likely has better coordination and stamina than a drunk overweight british boomer who had a blackout when doing the morning stretch. lol
Those exist for construction, you can get one at the following link: www.makitatools.com/products/details/XRF01Z They're not really for precision fastening though, they're built to point-and-shoot screws into lumber when doing production carpentry. Also, one of the tenants of lean production is to keep tooling flexible, and not commit too much capital toward producing a certain type of part in a certain way. This is to shorten lead times and make production as adaptable as possible. Perhaps an autofeed driver would not be so inflexible, but I don't think any such driver exists that's precise enough to drive machine screws into pre-tapped holes, and that can be fed with a variety of screw sizes. If that is the case (that no such driver exists) then Toyota would have to get someone to make it for them, which isn't the business they're in. That type of custom commissioning gets expensive. They may as well wait and see if someone else can make it work... a lot more buyers than just Toyota would be knocking on the door for one of those if someone could get the design right, and then Toyota could have it quite cheap.
Hopeful first month employee: I believe the screws could be easier to pick and screw. Toyota kaizen QA: Oi! We believe you arhhhhe incompetent! Oi! Kaizennnn reeee....jected!

When he goes to complain to his Team leader this later one throws him a set of keys to a new supra parked outside and says. "Welcome to Toyota kid!" And they high five in the air as the frame stills and a nostalgic 80's montage song fades away in the background. *Don't youuuuuuu, fooooooget about meeeeee, Baby dont you dont yooooouuuuuu* (Yes I got the job)
A few people in here commenting on robotics taking over from manual workers but the only thing that determines if a machine or a human gets the job is if the human can do the task quicker than a machine or, if a machine can’t cost effectively or possibly be made to do the task in place of them. That’s takt time.
Coming up with ways to do things better is one thing, being able to implement a working solution that fast is just as impressive! Be cool to know how much 1sec of savings equaled in cost per day/yr :)
With difficulty. First you optimize the process, then you automate it. If you just decide to use robots for everything, the engineer probably never did the lowly assembler job, so he's just giving it his best guess. Once it works, it is too risky and expensive to change it. All the foreman has to do is say "Give me the two and five year ROI on the cost of the change." and you'll just forget about it and go away.
Am i the only one who will ask what is the compensation program for my monthly contribution to the company before shooting out my intellectual property? lol. Clever boys.
there is sth called "risk analysis".if you don't see anything too risky about the area, why the hell would you bother people with burdens?further reading: fine kinney method.
@@sevinnosobretti1463 i guess you could make a case for that. But again, like I said, before the airbag incident, takata was a trusted supplier for many auto manufacturers. Toyota wasnt the only one affected.
@@sevinnosobretti1463 thats impossible to do because companies have merged and theres only so many suppliers that can produce parts at the quality and quantity needed for mass production
Amazed how short sighted management and evil excessive greed, moved Boeing from actually following quality essentials, for goods where errors can result in near to certain death of people. RESPECTS TO TOYOTA AND JAPANESE COMPANIES THAT FOLLOWED, VEHICLES AT HOME ARE JAPANESE.
I can't believe they are using those dumb cross screw heads (Phillips). They are a pain to work with, slip and you can't control how much torque you need to apply. They should use star drive (torx) screws for this, much better, can't slip and you can tighten them as much as possible, untightening is also no problem. Does not cost any more money and prevents a lot of trouble.
"Other industries adopted kaizen"? Not American companies. They only improve profits, not quality or production. (Which is why Toyota sells more vehicles).

@@frikkied2638 your totally sure
That quip about spare parts not being JIT was pretty sharp
Having a regularly scheduled quota of Kaizen is an amazing idea that can prevent stagnation and squeeze out ideas from all corners and perspectives.
no, it's stupid

Why else lol. Its a production line philosophy mainly. Derived from perfectionism.

Can add a slight magnetic property to the glove so that the screws will not spill.
Would have to be careful about workers with metal parts in their bodies though (due to previous surgery...)
This video was so inspiring that I ask my husband to watch it with me, then I sent him to Home Depot so we can Kaizen our house

Great clip and interesting look into the process of Toyota and how they apply Kaizen. Thank you for sharing!

what do you speak? sounder familiar to Spanish and if I understood correctly you said" thank you for sharing your experiences, excellent work."
Federal government is in desperate need of Kaizen
They're more than happy to run with fat, while the rest of us try to find ways to run leaner.
kaizen culture is very important. Because, we improve, So, company improve. I am working as a logistic assistans in Toyota motor manufacturing of Turkiye. Kaizen is very important for us.
using employees skills and input to make incremental continuous improvement to the process
Yeah that doesn't happen in most businesses, managers with degrees in random sh*t get to make all the decisions and ignore the people who do the work.
yeah, new kaizen being invented (from idea to tool) in a day, that's impressive!
Here in France if someone came with that idea, first of all he would be hated by all others and then the factory would go on strike for 6 months and then 2 years to get the letter to the department head and then 1 year for him to read and during all this time it's time for new President and it will never happen.

Still not understand how Toyota ended up involved in the Takata scandal despite its philosophy of constant improvement.
takata aren't part of toyota. They are a third party that supplied air bags to lots of other companies like honda, ford, etc.

take a basic task and add hundreds of failure points for the sake of thinking you're saving time and you got kaizen.
