Kaizen by QC Circles in Pakistan

KARACHI: The auto industry, especially Indus Motor Company (IMC), has done a commendable job to improve its business processes through Kaizen initiatives and activities and this practice should spread to other industries paving the way for accelerated economic development of our country.

This was stated by Parliamentary Secretary for Industries MNA Pir Haider Ali Shah at the 19th Annual Kaizen Convention recently organised by Indus Motor Company (IMC) at a local hotel.

He said that growth and excellence lies in the adoption of Quality Control Circle (QCC) approach and Kaizen, which have enabled IMC to improve its development processes taking it to new heights.

Value-Stream Mapping, Kaizen Blitzes, and Jishuken

The American literature on Lean gives the impression that all it takes to implement it is Value-Stream Mapping (VSM) and Kaizen Blitzes. Mention these to Toyota people, however, and you may be surprised that they have never heard of them, and certainly not as part of the Toyota Production System (TPS) that Lean is based on. Likewise, General Tso's Chicken, the most popular Chinese dish in the US, is unknown in China and was traced by Jennifer 8 Lee to a chef in New York City in 1976.

Which Industries Lead in Marketing Effectiveness? [CHART]

Which Industries Lead in Marketing Effectiveness? [CHART] | Kaizen Group | Scoop.it

Those of us who enjoy a bottle of wine or who have a few gray hairs know that things get better with time. The key to personal or professional growth is learning from your experiences and improving each time around. This week, we looked at the learning process marketers go through when they begin using a marketing automation tool. To add some competitive spice, we compared how different industries learned at different rates.We looked at several measures of marketing effectiveness, including open and click rates. We found across all industries these rates actually decreased over the first five months of marketing automation. Examining the number of emails sent and qualified leads captured, we found successive increases as marketers learn and adjust their approach toward the end goal of delivering MQLs to sales.

Next, when we examined Lead Efficiency, defined by MQLs generated per 1000 emails sent, an obvious leader jumps to light: Across all industries, Lead Efficiency increases approximately80% over the first months of execution. However, marketers in manufacturing increased Lead Efficiency by approximately 3 times in the same period. Furthermore, they demonstrated steady month over month improvement and eventually the highest Lead Efficiency at scale. It seems that the principles of continuous improvement have leaked from the factory floor to the marketing suite!

BIM Strategy and Change Management II | Kaizen Group | Scoop.it

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technologies.  As such it is a process of collaboration, continuous improvement, transparency, and integration. 3D distractions aside, achieving optimal return-on-investment (ROI) on BIM requires focus upon change management, first and foremost. Ad-hoc business practices, traditional construction delivery methods, and legacy software must be cast aside.....

I see the same cycle in so many places.
What cycle?
This one, more or less:
Step 1. Altruistic leaders sincerely (?) ask the associates for their improvement ideas (a.k.a. suggestions, kaizens, CI’s, etc.) in an attempt to foment some daily kaizen.
