“20 KEYS”

The 20 Keys methodology used in the product sector was developed by a Japanese professor Iwao Kobayashi, and the 20 Keys system has been successfully deployed in more than 20 countries all over the world.
20 Keys means:
- using many visual tools, including check lists to compare the organisation to the best ones in the world and to also draw comparisons between different entities,
- recognising and respecting what the organisation has achieved so far,
- helping to set challenging goals by giving an idea within the company of what is achievable,
- developing all the employees’ skills that are necessary for participating in the improvement process,
- offering the company a unified approach to solving problems relevant to productivity, quality, and cost-effectiveness in all areas of business,
