Kobetsu Kaizen
Kobetsu Kaizen is a targeted improvement approach within Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) that focuses on solving specific problems in production processes. It aims to eliminate inefficiencies, reduce defects, and enhance productivity by implementing systematic, data-driven solutions. By engaging cross-functional teams, Kobetsu Kaizen ensures continuous improvement through root cause analysis and practical countermeasures.

SMED
SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) is a lean manufacturing method that reduces equipment setup and changeover times to less than 10 minutes. By streamlining processes and separating internal and external setup tasks, SMED increases efficiency, minimizes downtime, and enhances production flexibility.

Why Why Analysis
The Why-Why Analysis is a problem-solving technique that identifies root causes by repeatedly asking "why" until the fundamental issue is uncovered. This method helps eliminate superficial fixes and implement long-term solutions to prevent recurring problems.

ECRS Analysis
ECRS (Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, Simplify) analysis is a systematic method used in lean manufacturing to improve processes by reducing waste and increasing efficiency. By evaluating each step in a workflow, ECRS helps identify unnecessary actions, streamline operations, and enhance productivity.
