What is Yamazumi?
It is a Japanese word meaning to pile up. Yamazumi work balance charts are used to facilitate work balancing and the elimination of non-value added work content by expressing the work content of a set of tasks in a visual way.
What are the Benefits of Yamazumi?
- Helps to quickly identify which processes are overloaded or underutilized.
- It is also useful when there is a need to rebalance the line or reorganize the process.
- Helps you compare performance between workstations or machines.
Every line in production is an opportunity, because a perfect product is not made by correcting defects, but by anticipating and preventing them.
William Edwards Deming
