In order to manage departments, functions, and processes, Daily Work Management (DWM) is a system whereby processes are defined, standardized, regulated, and improved by the process owners.

Nichijo Gemba Kanri, also known as daily work management, is a crucial component of the KAIZEN journey and a crucial tool for lean manufacturing. As we frequently emphasize, “top management commitment” is crucial to the success of a KAIZEN journey. When we consider top management commitment, two crucial responsibilities of leaders in every organization come to mind:

  1. effectively and efficiently conduct daily operations

2 .Plan and carry out actions to accomplish the organization’s objectives and vision.

Or, to put it another way, we can divide these declarations into two initiatives:

  • NichiJo Gemba Kanri (known as Daily Work Management) 
  • Hoshin Kanri (known as Policy Deployment)

Hoshin Kanri is concerned with the adjustments that must be made in order to achieve strategic objectives through ground-breaking KAIZENs, while Nichijo Kanri is concerned with maintaining the advancements made thus far. While Hoshin Kanri will ensure that the company develops in the proper direction, Nichijo Gemba Kanri would lessen crisis management and firefighting situations. Hoshin Kanri symbolizes the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle in the KAIZEN perspective, while Nichijo Gemba Kanri represents the SDCA (Standardize-Do-Check-Act) cycle.
Nichijo Gemba Kanri is therefore necessary for Honshin Kanri.

Why DWM?

Instead of remaining the same, things deteriorate there. Can progress exist without maintaining the status quo? No, is the response. For a business to succeed, little but ongoing improvements are required to maintain the good condition of processes, machines, and equipment, etc.
