Quick & Easy Kaizen
The Effect:
Date: Name:
My workplace is outside of the company and I have to travel on my motorcycle. When it rains, water drops hit my helmet and it makes it very difficult for me to see through the helmet. Since I can’t see very well, it makes it very dangerous for me to ride in the rain. But, I have to make my deliveries on time so I am always fearful of falling and hurting myself and the motorcycle.
I came up with the idea to apply rain resistant chemicals, which are sold in the auto shops, and apply that to the mask of my helmet. The chemicals can be applied easily before I go out into the rain on my motorcycle.
So, by applying that, the water drops run off of the mask and it is easy to see. It became much safer.
