Video analysis of work revealed that sharing tools results in wasted movements.
1.Move to pick up and return the tool.
2.Wait time while other workers are using the tool.
Case Example
Here are some case examples of our changes and those of other companies.
- Control panel manufacturing
TOYODENSO Co., Ltd. Increased productivity and
35.6% waste reduction
Tools are shared.
Tools are provided for each worker.
Many small and medium-sized companies share expensive tools, but video digitized the craftsman’s movements, and the reduction of this move and wait time could be compared to the capital investment.
By providing a tool for each person, we succeeded in reducing 35.6% of unnecessary movements in some tasks.
