A lot of information can be provided on the spot. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Indirect information is not necessarily true. To obtain accurate first-hand data, one must conduct in-depth and detailed investigations on-site and constantly improve product quality and production efficiency based on the on-site conditions.

What is "on-site improvement"?
On-site improvement requires enterprises to create as much value as possible with the least resource input (including human resources, equipment, funds, materials, time and space), provide customers with high-quality products and timely services, and enhance customer satisfaction.
On-site improvement is a means to achieve the company's quality goals, not an end in itself. Through on-site improvement, the company aims to provide customers with satisfactory products and services and reduce waste.
The importance of on-site improvement for the development of enterprises
Product quality is the lifeblood of an enterprise. Only high-quality products can stand firm in the fierce market competition. Only by establishing a good image of high-quality products can we capture, stabilize and expand the market. Only by strictly controlling the quality can a company survive and develop better.

The PDCA cycle enables standardized operations
To achieve good standardization work, the PDCA cycle should serve as the framework and foundation of the work. Managers should be good at collecting data, frequently check whether production at each stage is proceeding as planned and on schedule, and manage it in a timely manner. That is: set goals, implement them, check the progress, and take immediate action if anything inappropriate is found to ensure the achievement of the goals. On-site improvement runs through the entire PDCA cycle. At any node, on-site improvement can be initiated.
"Act right away! Excuses are useless!"
The pioneers of improvement were Taylor and Gilbrae in the United States at the beginning of the 10th century. Through extensive investigation work, they clearly defined the standard operation mode by respectively setting the working standards for transporting ores with iron hoists and the working standards for piling bricks. Later generations established and refined the perspective of IE (Industrial Engineering) on this basis, clarifying the relationship between working methods and time, thus giving rise to a modern standardized assembly line operation mode.
Yukio Kakuchi and Masatoshi Sato, "On-site Improvement"
The first requirement for on-site improvement is to completely abandon all personal preconceived notions. Anyway, just give it a try first. The earlier you start, the more time you will have to deal with problems even if they arise during the improvement process, and thus achieve rich results. In modern society, market competition is fierce and the global economic situation is severe. There is no end to improvement. Always maintain a humble attitude, regard the present as the lowest point, and strive to learn from the people around you, customers and partners.
