AB  - The most challenging issue when enterprises implement continuous 
  improvement is how to select appropriate methods. The objective of this study 
  is to develop a diagnosis model for analyzing appropriate improvement methods. 
  The model is developed using enterprise diagnosis methodologies that consist 
  of three components, the production system, fundamental management and staff 
  mentality. These three perspectives stem from Toyota’s 3 M’s (muda, mura, muri). 
  The applicability of the proposed model is validated using a real precast fabricator. 
  The application results show that the developed model can be used to analyze 
  the strategies required for introducing lean ideas in precast fabrication.
