ABOUT TOYOTA KATA:
The toyota kata is a program in which we train coaches. The program helps to improve the internal and external quality of the clients, the quality of the operations and the speed of the service, improving the skills of the human resources to obtain an impact on the main indicators of the organization such as sales, costs and growth Based on Mike Rother’s book, the toyota kata is translated into more than 20 languages and is currently being carried out by large organizations. More than 200 companies have assisted in these programs and have managed to move their organization from point A to point B in terms of results, eliminating defects to zero, reducing the number of people, that is, increasing the number of pieces per person, improving the service but always finding a scientific thought in a different way of operation that they did not know and this leads to experimentation processes, reflection processes, a way in which the coach is always looking for questions, an apprentice is always looking for answers and with this to go forward in the continuous improvement day by day improving the system of lean leadership, forming a culture of continuous improvement based on the thought of Toyota production system. Mike Rother found out why the companies had struggled to copy Toyota’s tools and it was where they learned that was the DNA of each toyota leader was the way of thinking. The Toyota kata helps you to systematize the way of thinking of a leader inside Toyota which allows you to create your own tools where we have applied the Toyota Kata we have seen that there are thousands of tools that are not necessarily lean tools, if not, things that one sees in their own operations, tools, speeds, advances, cuts … we create solutions to move forward in different implementations.
