Kaizen Toolkit by Softools - Your Culturally-Driven Growth Engine

Huge multinational companies like Coca Cola, Grupo Bimbo, and KPMG have adopted systems of continuous improvement in multiple aspects, including operational excellence.

Companies are leveraging digital transformation to make their operational excellence systems sustainable and progressively informed with data-backed insights. Ultimately driving business growth at scale. The continuous improvement processes are unique for each company, and this is where the highly customizable Softools Kaizen Toolkit can be leveraged.

Built with 100% no-code, the Kaizen Toolkit is a set of apps configured to digitally enable an organisation’s operational excellence system based on the principles of Kaizen (Japanese business philosophy to continuously improve operations and involve all employees in the process).

Our digitized approach to Kaizen includes these sets of apps:

The Kaizen toolkit has teamwork, collaboration, and transparency built into its DNA. It is a fully customisable solution, with the capacity of 100% deployment available even with the off-the-shelf version. Your teams can access it securely across all devices, online and offline from anywhere they are. It can be accessed in 14 languages.

If an organisation has pre-existing digital systems, Kaizen can be easily integrated into them too. 

Tapping into the nuanced business intelligence

Imagine stumbling upon insights in your operations data that you can directly work upon, to increase your process efficiency and remove overhead costs. What are the chances of that happening if all that data existed across thousands of excel sheets?

Conducting operations assessments, analysis and visualization is not possible with manual tools like excel or paper. Many useful data insights might not be available at the right time in a manner that can help improve operational efficiency. 

Softools Kaizen Toolkit offers data visualization dashboards and insight automation tools. They can be configured to reflect the state of your operations, in an easy-to-understand snapshot of the performance. It enables you to translate process and production status into visual dashboards. 

This Kaizen Portal can also have apps integrated with AI microservices to deliver higher real-time performance data and insights - which you can use in your continuous improvement programs. 

A Success Story

Softools had helped Coca-Cola Japan Bottlers Inc. to build and deploy their own Kizen Portal, which was deployed across 6000 users. CCBJI have over 100 manufacturing operations. 

They digitized their program of Supply Chain & Operational Excellence based on the principle of Kaizen with over 6000 employees contributing to the continuous improvement process every month.

The Kaizen program, which was earlier manual, was digitised in a way that implements the culture and values of the organization into their operational excellence processes with continuous improvement. Furthermore, it is driven by data-based insights auto-generate after processing raw data of 6000 ideas that the CCBJI workforce submits each month.

In 2021, CCBJI’s Kaizen process gets awarded at the Japan 2021 Operational Excellence Awards. 

They have been able to achieve sustainable transformation, using the Softools platform, by digitising their Kaizen program. It was deployed over just a few weeks, consequently saving resources and time which otherwise coding approach would have taken over a few months. 

Given that it can be accessed in the local language, the platform allows CCBJI workforce to collaborate, share, and communicate ideas and best practices. Thus, replicating not only the possess, across different sites.
