4282.0. "Are you using Kaizen in Digital?" by MROA::YANNEKIS () Fri Nov 17 1995 09:15

    
    Hi,
    
    I work in the SBU Manufactuting and Distribution organization.  We are
    starting a Kaizen-based continuous improvement program which we are
    calling FastJIT.  I am one of two folks  responsible for the roll-out
    of FastJIT.
    
    Is anyone else in Digital using Kaizen?  Any interest in sharing
    experiences and learnings?
    
    Take care,
    Greg

    I'm on the road in the AYO plant this week, and I see
    photos/posters/whatever all around the plant with "FastJIT" on them..

4282.3KAIZEN used in MCS Voice Of the CustomerUTROP1::TOL_RMon Nov 20 1995 05:198
    Greg,
    The MCS VOC (Voice Of the Customer) program that started in '91 is
    partially based on KAIZEN principles. The MCS VOC project runs in most
    European countries, Japan, Thailand and Israel. Anybody who needs more
    detailed information please send mail. The reply will be the program
    overview recently made by Jacques Vaisy.
    Good Luck, 
    Rene

No, but I promise to put in for it real soon!  I am in GPS and we are also just 
beginning a Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) process.  We are the folks who run 
the data centers, telephones, etc.  (Here come the comments . . . :*)   ).
We will be in "production" in January with plans for multiple teams running
per week within a few months.

Looking forward to networking with others in the company doing like work.
