The introduction of the kaizen methodology in a manufacturing company that occupies a leading position in the commodity market of the Moscow region. One of the most striking examples of the use of Japanese management principles in Russian conditions is the confectionery company Bolshevik JSC, where the development of the concept of the system of organization and rationalization of the workspace (5S) and universal equipment maintenance (TPM), which are the main elements of the concept of introducing employees to Kaizen thinking, allowed to increase the competitiveness of the company on the regional market, reduce costs associated with downtime and equipment shutdowns, improve the quality of labor resources, i.e. to grow competent equipment specialists, as well as to interest both operators and repairmen in the maintenance and improvement of technological equipment. Shows that the company «Bolshevik» has created such a type of equipment maintenance system, in which the main functions are transferred to the operators of technological equipment.
Describing the results of the implementation of the basic elements of the Kaizen concept, we can say that there were no serious difficulties in implementing the basic elements of the Kaizen concept in Bolshevik JSC, but at the initial stage there was a lack of interest on the part of employees. As soon as the first results appeared, production interest began to grow. The average order time for components has decreased by 30%, production discipline has improved (for example, since the introduction of the kaizen policy, no warehouse worker has been late), equipment downtime at the Bolshevik confectionery factory has decreased by 9% over the past year alone.
