The final step is to sustain and improve the results of your TPM and lean manufacturing initiatives. Establishing a culture of continuous improvement and learning, where everyone is committed to achieving excellence and solving problems, is essential. You should also use various tools and methods to sustain and improve your performance, such as visual management, standard work, kaizen, gemba, and hoshin kanri. Visual management uses signs, charts, boards, and colors to display the status, progress, and performance of value streams, processes, and equipment. Standard work documents and follows best practices for each task, activity, and role. Kaizen implements small and frequent improvements based on employee feedback. Gemba visits the actual place where work is done to observe and improve reality. Hoshin Kanri aligns strategic goals with all levels of the organization and ensures their execution and review.
