PREFACE
The Summer Training is an integral part of academic curriculum. During the training, a
student gets an opportunity to understand the practical aspects of theory by making
their concepts more clear. This project report is the outcome of the summer training
that I have undergone at KANSAI NEROLAC PAINTS LIMITED, KANPUR for the
partial fulfillment of my Masters of Business Administration. The topic allotted to me
by the company is Exploring The Concept of Kaizen.
I have tried my level best to make a good report. However, no one can claim for
perfection entirely. Preparation of project requires perseverance, initiatives, proper
guidance and direction. So, it is mandatory to take the aid of various departments.

ABOUT THE KAIZEN
Kaizen means Kai (Change) and Zen (For Good). Any change for Good can be termed
as Kaizen.
Kaizen is any small improvement done in the current working procedure, equipment.
Kaizen is a daily process, the purpose of which goes beyond simple productivity
improvement. It is also a process that, when done correctly, humanizes the workplace,
eliminates overly hard work , and teaches people how to perform experiments on their
work using the scientific method and how to learn to spot and eliminate waste in
business processes.
In all, the process suggests a humanized approach to workers and to increasing productivity:
"The idea is to nurture the company's human resources as much as it is to praise and encourage
participation in kaizen activities." Successful implementation requires "the participation of
workers in the improvement." People at all levels of an organization participate in kaizen, from
the CEO down to janitorial staff, as well as external stakeholders when applicable. The format
for kaizen can be individual, suggestion system, small group, or large group.
At Toyota, it is usually a local improvement within a workstation or local area and involves a
small group in improving their own work environment and productivity. This group is often
guided through the kaizen process by a line supervisor; sometimes this is the line supervisor's
key role. Kaizen on a broad, cross-departmental scale in companies, generatestotal quality
management,and frees human efforts through improving productivity using machines and
computing power

Condition or any process leading to benefits to the person doing Kaizen and company. Kaizen
will be recognized only when the format is filled, idea is implemented and expected benefits are
understood/ verified by sectional head / AET leader.

productivity improvement. This philosophy differs from the "command and control"
improvement programs of the mid-twentieth century. Kaizen methodology includes making
changes and monitoring results, then adjusting. Large-scale pre-planning and extensive project
scheduling are replaced by smaller experiments, which can be rapidly adapted as new
improvements are suggested.
In modern usage, it is designed to address a particular issue over the course of a week and is
referred to as a "kaizen blitz" or "kaizen event". These are limited in scope, and issues that arise
from them are typically used in later blitzes.
Kaizen Is Different
In recent history, Kaizen-influenced business philosophies have helped to shape new
roles for much of the worlds management and labor. As a result, many facilities are
experiencing greater efficiencies and organization than ever before.
Many of these advancements are the direct result of a labor force empowered by Kaizen.
This is an environment in which all employees participate in finding efficiency
improvements and are never afraid to contribute to the success of their facility. Modern
Kaizen advances this philosophy further. In many modern facilities, work area personnel
arent just encouraged to contribute ideas for facility improvements its expected.
This is a philosophy shared by all employees and helps build an atmosphere of teamwork
and achievement. This greatly improves communication between personnel and
management and helps facilitate efficiency improvements in work areas.

In Kaizen, all suggested ideas are reviewed by management and given serious
consideration without preferential treatment. Ideas found to have merit are quickly
implemented, no matter who suggested it. This level of active participation empowers
employees to constantly strive for improvement and work to keep their facility
competitive.

Objective of the study
A Kaizen event is a focused and structured improvement project, using a dedicated cross-
functional team to improve a targeted work area, with specific goals, in an accelerated
timeframe . Recent evidence suggests that Kaizen events are becoming increasingly popular as a
method for targeting initial improvement both in business performance and social system
outcomes . However, the initial success of a Kaizen event does not guarantee the sustainability of
event outcomes. In fact, some practitioners note that Kaizen events should not be performed
unless they are done with the intent and activities necessary to sustain results.
To over come this situation my objective was how to make Kaizen event more efficient,
effective, and interesting and make this useful and helpfull in the company.
A Kaizen Event
A Kaizen is a highly focused assault on an area or process to achieve rapid
improvement in the organization which uses a cross-functional team with process
insiders and outsiders. It achieves as many improvements as possible during a typical
day event in every organization every year has to be done. It has some augments, but
does not replace, continuous improvement in the works and the employees and workers to
do all the work together and have all the problem short-out during the work.

which Kaizen are given in the prizes in which the events are going to be held. The
events are going to be held because of the following conditions:-
Need for solution is urgent
Competitive crisis
High customer dissatisfaction
Big impact projects

InnovationComes from anyone, but the right environment must be provided.
PerformanceManagers spend time in work areas so performance improvements are well
communicated.
Bottom LineCost reductions involve many small steps by both management and labor.
TraditionA company should only have a tradition for change.
Profit Sharing All employees are rewarded for finding efficiency improvements that
increase profits.
InventoryLower inventories reduce waste and help uncover flaws in the system.
QualityQuality comes from constant attention to all levels of product design, development
and production.

DirectionLook around for visual cues for what to do next.
Not My Job Instead of complaining, find ways to make your job easier and more
interesting.
GoalsThe managements goal is the same as yours.
LoyaltyLookout for your company, it has the same goal as you.
Implementation
TheToyota Production System is known for kaizen, where all line personnel are expected to stop their
moving production line in case of any abnormality and, along with their supervisor, suggest an
improvement to resolve the abnormality which may initiate a kaizen. The cycle of kaizen activity can
be defined as:
Standardize an operation and activities.
Measure the standardized operation (find cycle time and amount of in-process inventory)
Gauge measurements against requirements

Innovate to meet requirements and increase productivity
Standardize the new, improved operations
Continue cycle ad infinitum
Five main elements of Kaizen
Teamwork
Personal discipline
Improved morale
Quality circles
Suggestions for improvement
Benefits & Application Of Kaizen
Where Kaizen is properly applied, facilities will experience many benefits. Managers often
become more effective leaders, work area personnel are motivated and employees begin to
operate as a cohesive unit. The end-result is an environment fostering teamwork and employees
working together to achieve common goals.
Not only does Kaizen help all employees improve the workplace, facilities experience many
economic benefits. Often, these include increased profits and lower costs. Managers actually
stand to benefit the most from the application of this philosophy. Kaizen provides managers
-
8/10/2019 Summer Training Report in HR
25/113
24
24
with access to a constant flow of new ideas to improve their facility. Many of these are ideas
only a Kaizen workforce will communicate to management. Once implemented, their effect can
ripple through a facility and positively influence many unforeseen elements.
Often, uncovering issues management would not know of otherwise. Of course, these are
benefits only realized by disciplined managers. To be rewarded, they must work to support
Kaizen at every given opportunity and seek new ideas from all employees. Eventually, all
employees will grow to respect these managers. The result helps managers become more
effective leaders and brings greater value to the work they provide.
This style of management not only helps managers, it also empowers workers by making
them responsible for managing the implementation of their own ideas. Workers become focused
on achieving the same efficiency-improving and profit-increasing goals as management. Several
popular application strategies are listed in this guide to help properly apply Kaizen. Since no two
facilities are the same, these are only suggested strategies and should be modified to best suit a
facilitys individual needs.
SUCCESS STORIES
One of the largest auto manufacturers in the world is well-known as a pioneer in Kaizen. This
manufacturer, a well-known Japanese company, is credited with formalizing the philosophy and
helping turn it into a globally accepted management philosophy as early as the 1960s. Since then,
-
8/10/2019 Summer Training Report in HR
26/113

the company claims to have experienced many successes through the continued practice of
Kaizen. In one example, company managers claimed to have received over 75,000 suggestions
from 7,000 employees in a one year period. Of these suggestions, 99% were implemented.
These are unusual results, but clearly achievable with the proper application of Kaizen. One can
only imagine how much money the company saved by implementing this many improvements.
In Kaizen, the implementation of an idea is viewed only as one small
improvement in a continual search for other improvements. However, these individual
improvements add-up over time and can provide substantial benefits for any facility. Quality,
customer service and even sales can increase, while safety issues and sick days decrease. In
addition, employees working in a Kaizen facility generally find work to be easier and more
enjoyable. This results in higher employee morale, job satisfaction and lower turn-over. With
every employee looking for ways to make improvements, facilities may see several fundamental
benefits:
Improved productivity
Improved quality
Reductions in safety issues
Quicker deliveries
Lower costs
Increased customer satisfaction
Kaizen is known to be beneficial to facilities facing economic challenges. In Japan, facilities
applying Kaizen were known to overcome many great economic obstacles. In fact, post-WWII
Japan was far from an ideal environment for unbridled economic growth. Yet, it occurred.

Thanks, in part, to Kaizen. Like the implementation of any new method or process, applying
Kaizen does require a brief period of adjustment. At first, employees and managers may be
reluctant to make changes in their roles. Preparing a long list of employee and facility-wide
benefits can help overcome this resistance and open the door to greater acceptance. In general,
facilities are going to benefit from Kaizen differently as will many employees. However, there
will be some common and facility-wide benefits for each employee. Early on, these benefits
should be shared with employees during regularly scheduled facility meetings, along with any
success stories, to help foster Kaizens continued acceptance and use.
PIT FALLS IN KAIZEN
Resistance to change
Lack of proper procedure to implement
Too much suggestion may lead to confusion and time wastage
Purpose
To Define the Kaizen working i.e. defining the Kaizen, defining the role of Kaizen pillar team,
Format and procedure for kaizen recording and submission of Kaizen, Defining the Rating

policy.
Kaizen
Kai (Change) and Zen (For Good). Any change for Good can be termed as Kaizen.
Kaizen is any small improvement done in the current working procedure, equipment
Condition or any process leading to benefits to the person doing Kaizen and company. Kaizen
will be recognized only when the format is filled, idea is implemented and expected benefits are

a Manager, the team responsible for making the Kaizen drive happening at plant level.
The team meets fortnightly to review its implementation progress, identify/overcome
barriers, celebrate successes, and document its processes.
The Team is also responsible for finding out the opportunity of Kaizen implementation at
cross-functional area i.e. Horizontal deployment of achieved Kaizen; the champion will
track and record the progress of Horizontal deployment.
Role of Pillar Team Members
As each member is also a part of AETs he will be reporting Kaizen progress in two
meetings viz. AET meetings and Kaizen pillar meeting.
Ensuring the Kaizen movement in there section and are named as leader / contributor for

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION:
Research is a term that stands for a careful investigation or enquiry especially through
search for new fact in any branch of knowledge.
Research Methodology is way to systematically solve the research problem. In it we
study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his
research problem along with logic behind them. We also need to understand the
assumption underlying various techniques and procedures will be applicable to certain
problems and other will not. So it is necessary for us to design methodology for the
problem as it differs from problem. So research methodology is not only method
research but also logic behind the methods we use in context of our research study and
explain why we are using a particular method or technique and why we are not using
others so that research results are capable of being evaluated.
Marketing research is the systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of data and
findings relevant to specific marketing situation facing the company. An effective
marketing research involves following five steps in a sequential manner.
Defining the research objective.

which is collected by personal interview is more reliable than other sources.
B.Questionnaire
Questionnaire consist of a set of questions presented to the respondent for their
answer. Because of its flexibility the questionnaire is by far the most common

instrument used to gather primary data. Questionnaire needs to be carefully
developed and tested before they are actually used on a large scale.
Questions are of two types:
Open ended
Close ended
Open Ended Questions:A type of question that requires participants to responds in his or her
own words without being restricted to pre-defined response choices is known as an open- ended
questions.
Close Ended Questions: Questions, which restrict the interviewees answers to pre-defined
responses options, are called close-ended questions.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Simple Random Sampling.
Scale: 5- point scale
SAMPLING PLAN
After deciding on research and research instrument the researcher must design a sampling
plan. This plan calls for five decisions.
a) Sample population

It is segment to Executive class and Non-executive class employees of KNPL.
b) Sampling Frame
Since the manpower of KNPL, KANPUR is 1989 of different grades, so the sample frame
is obtained accordingly.
c) Sampling Unit
The sample unit consists of all Executives and Non- executives of KNPL, Kanpur
d) Sample size
Though large sample give more reliable results than small samples. However, it is not
necessary to sample the entire population or even a substantial portion to achieve reliable
result. So after considering time constraint and cost effectiveness for the project total 50
peoples are surveyed.

Analysis of Data
After the data have been collected, the researcher turns to the task of analyzing
them. The analysis of data requires a numbe r of closely related operations such
as establishment of categories, the application of these categories to raw data
through coding, tabulation and then drawing statistical inferences. The unwisely
data should necessary be condensed into a few manageable groups and tables for
further analysis. Thus researcher should classify the raw data into some
purposeful and usable categories. In the process of analysis, relationships or
differences supporting or conflicting with original or new hypotheses should be
subjected to tests of significance to determine with what validity data can be
said to indicate any conclusion.

On the basis of PDCA cycle and 5S kaizen work which are under follows
THE PDCA CYCLE
The cycle of Kaizen which I have researched in KNPL, JAINPUR activity can be
defined as:
Standardize an operation and activities.
Measure the standardized operation (find cycle time and amount of in-process
inventory)
Gauge measurements against requirements
Innovate to meet requirements and increase productivity
Standardize the new, improved operations
Continue cycle ad infinitum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PDCA-Two-Cycles.svg -

This is also known as the Shewhart cycle, Deming cycle, or PDCA. Other
techniques used in conjunction with PDCA include 5 Whys,which is a form of root
cause analysis in which the user asks "why" to a problem and its answer five successive
times. There are normally a series of root causes stemming from one problem, and they
can be visualized using fishbone diagrams or tables.
The Origins of 5S
5S was developed in Japan. It was first heard of as one of the techniques that enabled what was
then termed Just in Time Manufacturing. The Massachusetts Institute of Technologys 5-year
study into the future of the automobile in the late 1980s
identified that the term was
inappropriate since the Japanese success was built upon far more than components arriving only
at the time of requirement. John Krafcik, a researcher on the project, ascribed Lean to the
collective techniques being used in Japanese automobile manufacturing; it reflected the focus on
waste in all its forms that was central to the Japanese approach. Minimised inventory was only
one aspect developed by Hiroyuki Hiranowithin his overall approach to production
systems. Many Western managers coming across the approach for the first time found the
experience one of enlightenment. They had perhaps always known the role of Housekeeping
within optimised manufacturing performance and had always known the elements of best
practice. However, Hirano provided a structure for improvement programs. He pointed out a
series of identifiable steps, each building on its predecessor. Western managers, for example, had
always recognised the need to decide upon locations for materials and tools and upon the flow of
work through a work area; central to this (but perhaps implicit) is the principle that items not

essential to the process should be removed stored elsewhere or eliminated completely. By
differentiating between Seiri and Seiton, Hirano made the distinction explicit. He taught his
audience that any effort to consider layout and flow before the removal of the unnecessary items
was likely to lead to a sub-optimal solution.
Equally the Seiso, or cleanliness, phase is a distinct element of the change program that can
transform a process area. Hiranos view is that the definition of a cleaning methodology (Seiso)
is a discrete activity, not to be confused with the organisation of the workplace, and this helps to
structure any improvement program. It has to be recognised, however, that there is inevitably an
overlap between Seiton and Seiso. Western managers understood that the opportunities for
various cleanliness methodologies vary with the layout and storage mechanisms adopted.
However, breaking down the improvement activity in this way clarifies that the requirements for
the cleanliness regime must be understood as a factor in the design aspect of Seiton. As noted by
John Bicheno. Toyotas adoption of the Hirano approach, is 4S, with Seiton and Seiso
combined presumably for this very reason. The improvement team must avoid the trap of
designing the work area and then considering the cleanliness or tidiness mechanism.
Hirano also reminded the world of the Hawthorne Effect. We can all introduce change and while
people in the business consider the change program to be under management focus the benefits
of the change will continue, but when this focus has moved (as is inevitably the case)
performance once more slips. Western managers, in particular, may have benefited from the
distinction between the procedural or mechanical elements, Seiketsu, of keeping these matters in
focus and the culture change, Shitsuke, which is a distinct approach to bringing about a new way
of working. A number of publications on the subject in the West have questioned whether this
culture can really be tackled as part of an exercise of relatively limited scope.[5]
The broader

kaizen, or continuous improvement, approach is built, among other things, upon the companys
valuation of all members of the workforce. If employees dont feel valued within the overall
company culture, perhaps the change required falls outside the limits of a Housekeeping
improvement program.
The Objectives of 5S
Hirano identified a range of benefits from improved housekeeping, all of which can be regarded
as falling within the Lean portfoliothat is, they are all based around the elimination of waste in
one form or another.
The most obvious benefit from items being organized in such a way (i.e. that they are always
readily available) is that of improved productivity. Production workers being diverted from
production to look for tools, gauges, production paperwork, fasteners, and so on is the most
frustrating form of lost time in any plant. A key aspect of Hiranos organisation approach is that
the often-needed items are stored in the most accessible location and correct adoption of the
standardisation approach means that they are returned to the correct location after use. Another
element of Hiranos improved housekeeping is improved plant maintenance workers owning
a piece of plant, responsible for keeping it clean and tidy, can take ownership for highlighting
potential problems before they have an impact on performance. (Of course, this brings with it the
interface with preventive maintenance and the need for clarity in the assignment map, that is
who does what. The division of tasks between production workers and specialist maintenance
-

engineers varies with the nature of the business, but ownership rests within the business unit
rather than within the service provider.)
The next aim is Quality. The degree of impact of dirt in a manufacturing environment, obviously,
varies with the nature of the product and its process but there are few, if any, areas where dirt is
welcome. Even if it is only in the form of soiled documentation accompanying the goods to the
customer this can send a very negative message about the company and its culture. In other cases
dirt can have a serious impact on product performance either directly or indirectly, perhaps
through compromising the integrity of test processes. Of course, 5S does more than address dirt;
an inappropriate layout can result, for example, in product damaged through excessive
movement or through the use of tooling other than that defined as the standard. Standardisation is
a theme of Hiranos approach, overlapping to a considerable extent with, for example, that of
Ohno. A Standard Operating Procedure for tool certification is much easier to achieve if the tool
to be certified is always in a clearly-marked location.
Another goal is improved Health & Safety. Clear pathways between workbenches and storage
racks can minimise accidents, as can properly-swept floors. As with Quality, a well-organised,
clean and tidy facility lends itself more readily to standard practice. Hirano also described how
an environment in which the workforce has pride in their workplace can contribute to a
considerable extent in a number of ways including customer service. Improving the layout of the
facility merges with the concept of visual management; if workers can see the status of plant and
of work in the facility, thus removing the need for complex tracking and communication
systems, then benefits will accrue. 5S can also be a valuable sales tool when potential customers
visit; a well-organised, clean and tidy facility sends a message of a professional and well-
organised supplier.

One point made by all practitioners is that the adoption of 5S must be driven by goals. An article
in the journal of the UKs Institute of Operations Management written by Mark Eaton and Keith
Carpenter of the Engineering Employers Federation noted that the successful implementation
of 5S requires that everyone understand why it is being used and what the expected results are.
As with all Lean techniques the aim is improvement in business performance; the adoption is not
an end in itself..

5S are as follows
Phases of 5S
There are five primary 5S phases: sorting, straightening, systematic cleaning, standardizing, and
sustaining. On the basis of all these 5S best kaizen is been selected at KNPL.
Sorting (Seiri)
Eliminate all unnecessary tools, parts, and instructions. Go through all tools, materials, and so
forth in the plant and work area. Keep only essential items and eliminate what is not required,
prioritizing things per requirements and keeping them in easily-accessible places. Everything
else is stored or discarded.
Stabilizing or Straightening Out (Seiton)
There should be a place for everything and everything should be in its place. The place for each
item should be clearly indicated. Items should be arranged in a manner that promotes efficient
work flow, with equipment used most often being the most easily accessible. Workers should not
have to bend repetitively to access materials. Each tool, part, supply, or piece of equipment
should be kept close to where it will be used in other words, straightening the flow
path. Seitonis one of the features that distinguishes 5S from "standardized cleanup". This phase
can also be referred to as Simplifying.[1]

Sweeping or Shining (Seiso)
Clean the workspace and all equipment, and keep it clean, tidy and organized. At the end of each
shift, clean the work area and be sure everything is restored to its place. This makes it easy to
know what goes where and ensures that everything is where it belongs. Spills, leaks, and other
messes also then become a visual signal for equipment or process steps that need attention. A
key point is that maintaining cleanliness should be part of the daily work not an occasional
activity initiated when things get too messy.
Standardizing (Seiketsu)
Work practices should be consistent and standardized. All work stations for a particular job
should be identical. All employees doing the same job should be able to work in any station with
the same tools that are in the same location in every station. Everyone should know exactly what
his or her responsibilities are for adhering to the first 3 S's.
Sustaining the Practice (Shitsuke)
Maintain and review standards. Once the previous 4 S's have been established, they become the
new way to operate. Maintain focus on this new way and do not allow a gradual decline back to
the old ways. While thinking about the new way, also be thinking about yet better ways. When
an issue arises such as a suggested improvement, a new way of working, a new tool or a new
output requirement, review the first 4 S's and make changes as appropriate.

RESEARCH WHICH IS BEEN DONE AT KANSAI NEROLAC PLANT
LIMITED
KAIZEN is an activity which every person employed in a company can do while giving
suggestions on daily basis or weekly or any change which a person can bring into the PLANT
that can lead in progress of KNPL. KAIZEN is mandatory done every month in KNPL so as to
motivate workers, employees by giving them rewards for giving best ideas that are successfully
implemented in KNPL and have lead to reduction in cost or time and have increased the moral
of workers by doing so .
While doing analysis in KANSAI NEROLAC regarding KAIZEN implementation in plant and
awareness in employees, contracters, operators and labours, taking a sample of 100 workers
and asking them do they know about KAIZEN?
The answer which I got from them was 50-50. 75% workers including labour said they do not
know what is this KAIZEN.
5% said they know about KAIZEN but do not initiate in this due to lack or shortage of time or
due to work load in production department.
20% said they are very well aware about this terminology and actively participate in this activity
and have gained rewards too in form of gifts, cash prize etc

To over come this problem some step have been formed so that KAIZEN can be easy going for
each and every worker of the company:-
Finding Time for Kaizen Events
Work overtime to recover lost production
Reroute production to other area
Perform the event over a weekend
Run the event early in a production period
Finish period production early and then run the event
Take advantage of a slow time
Outsource some production to buy time
Run the event concurrent with production

Basically the research work which has been done at KANSAI NEROLAC PAINTS
Ltd is if a contractor, officer, or any employee of a company make any KAIZEN and
implement it then under which THRUST area it will be kept and according to that under
which point categ
