As we know that Mr. Kyatmaja Lookman have a plan to develop an integrated industrial area with railway which at Karawang called as Lookman Djaja Logistic Center to "push" the logistic costs.
Here, my personal opinion by implementing Mr. Kyatmaja Lookman's plan collaborate with Kaizen.
First, what is Kaizen??
Kaizen is the practice of continuous improvement. Kaizen was originally introduced to the West by Masaaki Imai in his book Kaizen: The Key to Japan’s Competitive Success in 1986. Today Kaizen is recognized worldwide as an important pillar of an organization’s long-term competitive strategy. Kaizen is continuous improvement that is based on certain guiding principles:
- Good processes bring good results
- Go see for yourself to grasp the current situation
- Speak with data, manage by facts
- Take action to contain and correct root causes of problems
- Work as a team
- Kaizen is everybody’s business
- And much more!
One of the most notable features of kaizen is that big results come from many small changes accumulated over time. However this has been misunderstood to mean that kaizen equals small changes. In fact, kaizen means everyone involved in making improvements. While the majority of changes may be small, the greatest impact may be kaizens that are led by senior management as transformational projects, or by cross-functional teams as kaizen events.

In a simple words Kaizen is a continuous improvement strategy that also calculating even a small of changes.
Related with Mr. Kyatmaja Lookman's plan collaborate with Kaizen there are points to make them work together:
- Everything should be integrated with technology and the time it schedules. In this case the activities of loading and unloading goods from the railway should be work in the right of time with right of handle. Every second of the movements should be calculated.
- Team Work is a key. When everything being integreted but, we didn't had a team that worked together, it wouldn't went as we wished for. Every person in the team should be knew their own JobDesk. In logistics we are talking about 2 things. First is time and Second is cost. We all know that technology has developing that much of changes but, we still needed a team, to make sure everything is work as it should. Because, everyday is a challenge. Each day has their own of challenges.
- Watching every single improvement because if we are not catch it, we will loss things that we have to fix. Remember, even a small of change it count our profits.
- The most important thing is to clean up the railway areas with everything that could irritate the activities.
