Pillar 1 of 8 · Kobetsu Kaizen

Focused Improvement

Focused Improvement is the TPM pillar that hunts down the losses costing you the most — slow cycles, minor stops, scrap, and rework. Cryotos gives your teams the data and workflow to fix the root cause and prove the gain.

What Focused Improvement Means?

Focused Improvement (also called Kobetsu Kaizen) brings small cross-functional teams together to solve one loss at a time. Instead of broad, vague goals, the team picks a real problem, finds the root cause, and removes it for good.

The idea is simple. Every machine has hidden losses. Some are big stops. Many are small ones that add up. Focused Improvement makes these losses visible, ranks them, and clears the worst first. You measure the result, then move to the next.

This is where OEE matters. OEE shows the gap between what your equipment could make and what it actually makes. That gap is your improvement target.

How Cryotos Delivers Focused Improvement

Five connected tools turn loss data into action you can track and prove.

OEE

Cryotos tracks Availability, Performance, and Quality for each machine. It pulls data from IoT sensors and meter readings, so the numbers are live, not guessed.

  • Machine-wise OEE dashboards
  • Downtime and speed-loss tracking
  • Find the top losses fast

Kaizen

Any team member can log an improvement idea. Cryotos ranks ideas by impact, cost, and effort, then tracks each Kaizen from submission to result.

  • Capture ideas from the floor
  • Score by impact and effort
  • Measure before/after gains

Poka-Yoke

Poka-Yoke means building checks that stop errors before they happen. Cryotos captures each Poka-Yoke action and ties it to the loss it prevents.

  • Log mistake-proofing actions
  • Link each to a defect or stop
  • Standardize what works

OPL — One Point Lesson

When a team solves a problem, they capture it as a One Point Lesson — a single visual sheet. Cryotos stores OPLs and shares them so the fix spreads fast.

  • Quick visual learning sheets
  • Attach to assets or work orders
  • Spread fixes across shifts

MP Sheet — Maintenance Prevention

An MP Sheet records what went wrong so the same fault is designed out next time. Cryotos keeps MP data with the asset, ready for the next purchase or upgrade.

  • Record recurring faults
  • Pass lessons to new equipment
  • Cut repeat failures
