[Free] "12 Principles of Why-Why Analysis" Experience Seminar

"Make you feel that way" Solve it using problem recognition coaching!

The "5 Whys Analysis" actually has 12 rules, and without practicing based on these, one cannot reach fundamental cause investigation and improvement measures. In this training, you will learn a unique method that further develops and improves the "5 Whys Analysis." For a given problem, we will identify the reasons (factors) that caused it, and then show the reasons (factors) that further caused it, repeating this process. Within this framework, we have developed a method that leads to solutions/improvements simultaneously through logical thinking and creative thinking, focusing on identifying and eliminating causes. Additionally, we have incorporated coaching psychology to enhance motivation, allowing for more rapid results through communication aimed at problem-solving. Expected Effects: ■ Prevention of problem and trouble recurrence ■ Prevention of careless mistakes ■ Improvement of workplace safety ■ Reduction of equipment troubles ■ Reduction of quality defects ■ Enhancement of problem-solving skills Skills Acquired: ◆ Cause investigation skills ◆ Problem-solving skills ◆ Issue resolution skills ◆ Logical thinking and creative thinking

Are your "5S activities" just ending up as simple cleaning and tidying? With the new 5S thinking method, let's implement sustainable improvement activities!

At Knowledge Lean Co., Ltd., we are dedicated to cultivating personnel who can recognize dangers and think for themselves. The "New 5S Thinking Method" is defined as an activity that is continuously carried out to maintain an organizational state that accepts new things (transformations) while repeatedly practicing "sorting, cleaning, organizing, maintaining cleanliness, and discipline," which differs from the usual 5S activities. Oh? Did you notice? If you thought, "Isn't the order of 5S activities 'sorting, organizing, cleaning, maintaining cleanliness, and discipline'?" In the "New 5S Thinking Method," which is an activity carried out continuously, the order of organizing and cleaning is switched from the perspective of rewriting the "mental model." In the seminar, we will not only focus on measures related to managing items and tasks but also convey content that approaches from the psychological aspect of humans. You may hear topics that are unfamiliar to you, but for those who feel stuck in their current situation, this will lead to an approach from a different angle. For more details, please feel free to contact us.
