Why should we implement
1000+ improvements per year?
Does the number of implemented improvements matter? Why is the number 1000 implemented ideas per year so important?
Stimulating Thinking
The model assumes daily,
small interactions with the system
to stimulate Kaizen thinking
Where to get stimuli from?
The ideal, because infinite,
source of stimuli is
the effects of implemented ideas
Feedback
Let each implemented idea
become a stimulus,
that generates the next idea
Chain Motivation
By turning the effect into a stimulus
you get the chain motivation effect
Self-Ignition
To ensure self-ignition,
the effects of implemented ideas
must generate
an appropriate number of new stimuli
3 implementations per day
In practice, this means implementing
at least 3 ideas per day
across the company.
This gives 1000 ideas per year
