Read Marcus Overview

Kamishibai Boards are used as a visual control for performing specific tasks and/or audits within any process by both work area team members and management. These boards contain two-sided colored Kamishibai cards (red side and green side) to indicate that a task is scheduled (red) or has been completed (green).

Kamishibai Boards are practical visual control tools that assist with the allocation, sequencing, execution, and follow-up of key work routines and tasks. Kamishibai is a Lean Kaizen tool, as part of Lean Visual Management The Kamishibai technique can be used for a near-infinite number of task/audit functions and can be used for daily weekly, monthly, and even quarterly tasks/audits. Kamishibai boards are located at or very near the workplace. They are normally within visible range of the process in the scope of the audit.

Kamishibai Cards look like the Kanban board utilized in Manufacturing processes. In fact, Toyota is widely using the Kamishibai concept to do perform daily, weekly, and monthly audits of their business processes. Usage of Kamishibai Boards found in tackling many business processes and activities in Manufacturing, including production, maintenance, sourcing & procurement, and so forth.

When team members cooperate to create a Kamichibai Board, some very important things tend to occur:

•  A common base of knowledge and understanding is quickly developed about process execution.
•  Every team member contributes.
•  Communication is clear and easily understandable.
•  Problems are surfaced in a "friendly" way, are made visible, and lead to root cause countermeasures.
•  Everyone quickly knows the status of work tasks and activities, are we on track or off track?

Why is a Kamishibai Board used?

Objective of using Kamishibai is not a fault finding process. The proper use of a Kamishibai is to train the mind and eyes of the involved person's to see problems (deviations from the standard output), identify improvements even though these are small, and teach others also to see and solve these kind of problems.

This presentation can also be used as a template for your own business presentations on explaining Kamishibai Boards.

The course also delves into the mechanics of task-oriented applications, emphasizing time-sequenced organization and corrective action logs. Various examples illustrate the versatility and adaptability of Kamishibai Boards to different business needs.

Topic FAQ

What are Kamishibai Boards and how do they function on the shop floor?

Kamishibai Boards are visual control tools that display tasks and audits using two-sided colored cards (red = scheduled, green = completed). They are placed near the workplace to allocate, sequence, execute, and follow up on routine tasks, supporting daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly checks with a visible red/green card system.

What types of audits exist in Kamishibai and how are they used differently?

Kamishibai distinguishes Type 1 and Type 2 audits: Type 1 tracks task completion while Type 2 assesses process compliance. Organizations use Type 1 for routine task verification and Type 2 for deeper process checks, typically recording outcomes in corrective action logs and audit card examples.

How should a team build and pilot a Kamishibai board?

A typical approach involves engaging the team to identify and sequence tasks, creating the board with time-sequenced cards, running a pilot, collecting feedback, and refining the board and audit cadence. The Kamishibai Boards course provides step-by-step guidance, templates, and a pilot agenda for implementation.

How can QR codes be integrated with Kamishibai Boards to support training?

QR codes can be added to Kamishibai task cards so employees scan to access task instructions, visual work steps, or training videos. Integration streamlines onboarding and enables on-demand guidance; the course includes a QR code integration guide to support this setup.

What should I look for when buying a Kamishibai board training deck for my team?

Prioritize decks that include practical templates (board and audit cards), corrective action logs, examples for daily/weekly checks, a workshop agenda, and guidance on piloting and team engagement. Flevy's Kamishibai Boards deck lists these specific items including a Leadership Audit video and board template.

Are ready-made Kamishibai templates worth the cost compared with building one from scratch?

Ready-made templates accelerate deployment by providing example audit cards, corrective action logs, visual work instructions, and a pilot agenda so teams can start checking tasks immediately. The Flevy deck bundles a 20-page PowerPoint course plus a Leadership Audit video and templates for immediate use.

Can Kamishibai Boards support audits after organizational changes like a merger?

Yes. Kamishibai Boards are adaptable for many business processes (manufacturing, maintenance, procurement) and can be tailored to new workflows, audit frequencies, and team terminology, helping standardize checks across merged teams for daily and weekly audits.

How do I measure the effectiveness of a Kamishibai implementation?

Measure effectiveness by tracking task completion rates, audit pass/fail results, corrective-action closure, and team engagement. The Kamishibai Boards course teaches methods to quantify audit outcomes and track performance over time using audit card examples and corrective action logs.
