Abstract

As we might know that work and safety has become one of lean foundation that mentioned in lean house along with heijunka, kanban, seiryunka, stabilization, JIT, kaizen and jidoka. Safety is number one or as priority is reflected in Anzen Daiichi which includes the establishment of a Health and Safety Committee.
