Welcome

Welcome to the Makigami Info site!

Makigami literally means: 'Role of Paper' in Japanese. But it is also the 'Action Script' to the Ninja (who holds this as role of paper in front of him)

On the left you see "The mother of all Makigami's" made in 1996 by Okamura-san at Fujico (Japan).

Compare the size of the door at the left!

After 10 years it is still being improved, as we could see during a visit in December, 2006.

The Makigami's being developed in Europe are modified to suite our needs; we use post-its and need a different layout (Japanese writing allows vertical text)

Basically it consist of 4 area's:

1. Activities performed by different parties

2. Documents/media used in communication

3. Time-analysis

4. Identified problems

 

Due to an enhanced application of the technique, nowadays it is possible to make quite deep analyses of the current state ánd redesign for the future state, within as little as óne week.

 

Most of such weeks are performed as 'boosterweeks' where up to 6 simultaneous cross functional teams go through the process, presenting a 100-day implementation plan at the end of the week.

 

Although it is a simple tool and could be used as such, it is the basic vehicle towards a completely different approach of support- and administrative organisations. It is the key-instrument towards a systemic -or if you wish a holistic- view of the organisation and its surrounding; the true next level of successful organisations.

 

 

 

 
The Purpose of Makigami

Purposes

The Makigami process map, visualizes the current process in offices, laboratories, hospitals: Any place where the 'product' is not directly visible or physical.

An office is a factory of information with –as in any factory- many losses. The same goes for other service providers.

Makigami Process Mapping is used to analyze and visualize any 'business' process and is very suitable to use in environments, where processes are usually not transparent.

Any of the ‘7 deadly losses’ may (and will) become visible.

The Makigami Process Map also can be used to improve the investigated process by designing a future state map after taking away the identified losses.

Systemic Thinking

The Makigami process map, is the first, basic technique in a wider approach to bring an organisation towards 'systemic thinking and working'.

Dr Deming once said:

'In only 6% of the situations where something goes wrong,
it can directly be assigned to a person.
In the other 94% is due to the system where this person was acting in'

In other words: We place people in systems where the system invites us to make mistakes rather then preventing them...

If we study this carefully, the truth seams to be that in 100% of adverse effects this seams to be the case, because people always act according to the system they are being placed into...

es gibt wieder einmal viel Neues vom CETPM zu berichten:

 

 

Office-TPM-Seminar mit dem Makigami-Guru Arno Koch

 

 

 

Dem CETPM ist es gelungen, den anerkannten Office-TPM- und Makigami-Sepzialisten Arno Koch für das kommende Seminar "TPM in administrativen Prozessen / World Class Office" zu gewinnen. Wir haben noch einige Plätze für das Seminar am 11. und 12. Juni frei. Nach einer bekannten Studie stecken etwa 30 % Produktivitätspotential in administrativen Prozessen. Arno Koch konnte bespielsweise bei seinem letzten Office-TPM-Workshop bei einem bekannten Getränkehersteller mehrere Millionen Euro sofortige Einsparungen erzielen. Nutzen auch Sie die Möglichkeiten von Office-TPM! Nähere Infos und Anmeldemöglichkeit hier.

 

Freie Plätze gibt es auch noch in unserem "TPM-Schnupperkurs" am 20.06.2007 und in dem Rüstzeitoptmierungsworkshop bei KAMAX am 27. und 28.06.2007 in Homberg/Ohm.
