ABSTRACT

The beauty of this system tool is that, no matter what level is utilizing the Kamishibai cards, the basic operating principles are exactly the same. Each card has two sides with the description of the desired activity, 5S, Audit, AM (autonomous maintenance), Quality, etc., which is exactly the same on both sides of the card. As I mentioned in Chapter 2, “one side has a Green background and the opposite side has a Red background (Figure 5.1). As time is a valuable commodity, this tells us where we need to spend our time. I am sure we are all familiar with the understanding that once we can see Normal versus Abnormal (or out of standard) focus on the Abnormal, we bring it back to Normal or standard immediately. How easy is that?
