How to Use Yamazumi Charts to Balance Work and Improve Flow by Geneo
A Yamazumi chart shows the work content of each station or operator as stacked bars — and is one of the most powerful Lean tools for finding imbalance and waste.
But most teams build them in Excel… and rarely update them again.
GEN‑OPS changes that.
Our platform automatically builds Yamazumi charts from your standard work. As your processes evolve, so does the chart --- no spreadsheets needed.
Here’s how it works:
-- Visualise operator workload by element and task type
-- Highlight stations exceeding Takt time or underused
-- Easily move tasks to rebalance the line in real time
-- Changes applied directly to the digital standard
-- Complex mix and variation is easily accommodated
GEN‑OPS turns Yamazumi into a living control tool - always current, always connected to reality.
If you use Lean methods but still rely on static charts, it’s time to upgrade.
