Shizen has completely transformed the way daily Top 5 meetings are conducted in Onet Logistique. By digitalizing the traditional Top 5 process, it brings structure, visibility, and efficiency to operational management while remaining incredibly simple and intuitive to use. One of the biggest strengths of Shizen is its ease of adoption. The user interface is clear, visual, and user-friendly, allowing teams to get started quickly with minimal training. Another outstanding feature of Shizen is its integrated Gemba Walk and Problem-Solving modules, which significantly strengthen communication and organizational learning. The Gemba tool enables leaders and teams to capture observations directly in the field, assign actions instantly, ensure systematic follow-up, and calculate KPI. This creates a seamless flow of information between operational teams and management, helping issues to be identified and addressed more rapidly. The Problem-Solving module is also a great tools. Shizen is fully customizable and includes all the essential Quality tools for problem-solving, such as Ishikawa (Fishbone Diagram), 5 Whys, and other structured root cause analysis methodologies. This enables teams to investigate issues effectively, identify underlying causes, implement sustainable corrective actions, and standardize best practices across the organization. Over time, this creates a valuable and searchable knowledge base, allowing the organization to avoid recurring problems, accelerate onboarding, and leverage collective experience across sites and departments. The API integration capabilities are also extremely user-friendly. Shizen can be easily connected to other digital tools and business applications used on a daily basis, enabling seamless data exchange and process automation. This interoperability helps create a more connected digital ecosystem, reduces manual data entry, improves data consistency, and enhances overall operational efficiency. Finally, the support provided by the Shizen team is great. They are always available to help us develop our skills and make even better use of the platform. In addition, they actively take our feedback and lessons learned into account to continuously improve the tool. Special thanks to Pierre for his outstanding support and contribution !
