Manufacturing can be a messy affair. Often the factory floor or the assembly line appears to be littered with tools and equipments. The entire unit appears disorganized and mismanaged. Did you ever get this feeling? If you have worked in the manufacturing sector then you are probably familiar with this scene.

They appear to be more enthusiastic about their work and are seen to be enjoying their work and this was caused due to a transformation in the work area. This is what Kaizen can do. It can cause productivity of workers to rise by simply reorganizing the work place. The entire process of manufacturing under goes a radical transformation. The video has some amusing dialogue and a great background musical score, but Americans should be careful, a lot of the pronunciation is blatantly Australian.

Everyone associated with manufacturing should watch this video. Even people at the senior management level would do well to watch this video. It helps one to understand the value order and eliminating wasteful practices. It teaches you to create value in much the same way that the concept of Kaizen does.
