Anyone familiar with Kami Shabai?

Our Executive Group was given a presentation on Kami Shabai and we have been tasked to incorporate this method. The twist is, we have been tasked to do so at our Corporate HQ.

Anyone have any suggestions on what type of questions are audits should be asking? Specifically for our Purchasing Group?

This is one definition I found:- 'Auditing system where supervisors check if standard operating procedures are being followed'.

Not sure if that answers your question.

…so more or less the questionnaires should be focused on the effectiveness of the written (established) procedures including preventive and corrective actions… also, it should cover the performer comprehension on the process involved and the logical reason of why he must do it in accordance with certain procedures…

That looks similar to Layered Process Audits (LPA's).

I'll investigate further.

From what I've seen it is pretty similar to LPAs but more frequent with fewer questions, maybe even one question in some cases.

:lol: This sounds like the job a supervisor or manager should be doing anyway...

Flavor of the week #456.

If a supervisor has to have a special procees to ensure procedures are being followed the dude ain't got nobusiness being a supervisor.

Anyone familiar with Kami Shabai?NO, but I am very familiar with the Sidney Vianna Audit System.Flavor of the week #456.

If a supervisor has to have a special procees to ensure procedures are being followed the dude ain't got nobusiness being a supervisor.:agree1:Maybe it is the faith-based approach to business. You give the operators some instructions and pray they will follow it.

From Wikipedia:

Kamishibai (紙芝居), literally "paper drama", is a form of storytelling that originated in Japanese Buddhist temples in the 12th century, where monks used e-maki (picture scrolls) to convey stories with moral lessons to a mostly illiterate audience

(is management the audience??)

Hi all...it is GregB here but I lost my password when I moved so am logged in under a new guise until I work it out.
I am in charge of our new Kamishibai system and we use it in conjunction with our 'Lean' Board.
Although, Kamishibai translates as a 'Paper Drama' it is just a word and should not be taken literally.
The system, in brief, is a visual 'Go - No Go' board with individual tasks reflecting their status - Green = Completed/Inspected and Red = Uncompleted/Not Inspected. Each task has a 'Single Point Lesson' plan and checklist. These tasks, in our case, evolve from our lean board which highlights causes of downtime and their countermeasures (usually resolved by a Root Cause Analysis).
Certain tasks (ones to be monitored) are then transferred to the Kamishibai board and are inspected each shift (Go-No Go). These tasks are then audited by either Supervisor/Manager (weekly/Monthly etc) to ascertain if ther problem/remedy is being dealt with or solves the issue. Theses tasks are then reviewed every three months, or as required, to see if they qualify to be added to the 'Preventative Maintenance' schedule or if the countermeasures have fixed the issue. When I say 'Audit' I mean it as an Inspection rather than a documented person to person questionfest...It is the purest form of audit. Was the task, as described in the Kamishibai lesson plan, undertaken?
Kamishibai tasks, thus far, are limited to such things as:
* An area of plant being cleaned such as a Conveyor belt head drum,
* A valve or guage being inspected and recorded,
Our system is in its infancy but we can see great benefits from it, as we have from our 'Lean Board'. I will fill you in with the details as it evolves. As background, I work in the mining sector and our Plant/Mine stretches over 40 plus kilometers so the dayshift manager cannot be reasonably expected to visit the entire site each day.

Hi all...it is GregB here but I lost my password when I moved so am logged in under a new guise until I work it out. The software should have just sent you a 'password reminder' (which I think is a 'reset your password' email). Let me know if you don't get it.
