Quality Improvement Kaizen Initiatives

The documents describe various continuous improvement activities, or kaizens, implemented at Koyama Precision Works India Pvt Ltd to improve quality inspection processes. The kaizens focused on developing tools, fixtures and procedures to make inspection easier and more accurate, reduce inspection time, prevent product damage, and improve workplace safety and organization. Some key kaizens included creating a locating jig for spline gauge inspection, laminating and reusing inspection tags to reduce costs, and adding guards and bins to prevent product from falling or to better segregate nonconforming parts. The kaizens aimed to standardize inspection processes and deploy successful changes across other areas.
