Process Kaizen

Improvements done to eliminate the waste in processing, inadequate technology or design can be categorized under the process Kaizen.

Following are the few examples to attempt for the process Kaizen:

1. Optimisation of tool-life.
2. Reduction of unnecessary over machining by better planning.
3. Change the machining sequence to reduce cutting time or machining cycle time.
4. Eliminating or reducing an unproductive time of stroke of the hammer or press or tool for example by Quick Return Mechanism (QRM).
