INTRODUCTION TO TQM
KAIZEN is Japanese word KAI and ZEN. KAI means change and ZEN means better.
KAIZEN means change for better.
Kaizen involves removal of 3MUs at different check points, which helps in reducing waste
and losses.
1. Team work

Example of Kaizen
Toyota sought ways to increase the loading capacity of transporter trucks by modification
of their deck design.
A double-deck transporter conventionally just carried three Land Cruiser Prado models on
the upper deck.
In an improvement action, the hollow square pipes for the lower-deck side frame member
were replaced with band plates to gain space so that a truck could always carry four Prado
models at a time, resulting in an average of 3.7 vehicles per trip.
Six Sigma
Six sigma is a quality improvement programme with goal to reduce the number
of defects to as low as 3.4 parts per million.
Six Sigma stands for Six Standard Deviations (Sigma is the Greek letter used to
represent standard deviation in statistics)from mean. Six Sigma methodology provides the

HISTORY OF KANBAN
The original idea for kanban came from supermarkets. The customer essentially
selects what he or she wants, when necessary in the quantity desired.

at the right time, in the right amount.
