3 Actual’s

Genba/Gemba + Genbutsu + Genjitsu Actual/Real Place + Actual/Real Condition + Actual/Real Facts of Condition

Reflection (hansei), new knowledge is created and evolves, GO SEE again

By Todd McCann

Let’s get started with some “Word Play” Honorable T. Ohno’s comments of Standard Work

1. When work is performed in the absence of a standard, this is an abnormality

2. When standards exist but are not being followed, this is an abnormality

3. When standards exist and are being followed, this is an abnormality

Question: How will you know if first 2

abnormalities exist?

Let’s build on the “Word Play” Focus and Aim > Building KAIZEN & Challenge spirit!

1. When work is performed in the absence of a standard, this is an abnormality

2. When standards exist but are not being followed, this is an abnormality

3. When standards exist and are being followed, this is an abnormality

All 3 conditions produce KAIZEN SpiritThe 3rd foundationally roots KAIZEN Spirit

coupled with the Challenge Spirit

From Assumption to Reality through art of Sangen shugi Reflection 反射 (hansei) > Genchi > Reality > Reflection 反射 (hansei)
