Use of disposable cups in the office and visual thinking 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Working in the office , each person drinks water from a water purifier several times using   disposable cups . There are about 200 people working per floor , and I thought they would   consume more than 2,000 disposable cups a day . 

 My challenge was to reduce the use of disposable cups by less than half a day . There were   people with tumblers , people without them , but people who used disposable cups because they   were too lazy to wash . The methods used to solve this problem are Visualization and Visual   Thinking . I judged that it could be effective to show how much is thrown into the trash can a day . 

 Application 

 There was no existing data related to the use of disposable cups , and we conducted an interview   with the team 's staff to find out how much they consumed qualitatively . I got information about   the amount of bottled water and disposable cups bought by the company a month , and I was   able to check how much it was used in the total number of cups during the actual day . 

 To show this effectively , a bar graph was drawn up and the total amount of change per day was   shown over time . A number was written on how many disposable cups are consumed per day ,   and the graph 's trend was shown in daily units , indicating how much savings it would save .   Realistically , the company presented a goal of reducing the amount by 10 percent every day to   motivate them . 

 However , the simple bar graph did not clearly motivate them , and it would have been more   effective if the contents of environmental protection was added . Also , there used to be a nominal   one - time savings statement , so I think people would have felt it sensibly if there were specific   examples . 

 Insight 

 The use of disposable cups in groups without tumblers and those without tumblers could be   reduced . The staff was n't aware of the amount they used . Visualizing the amount of total and   cumulative amounts in a chart has enabled us to be aware of it . In particular , it was an   opportunity to increase the participation of groups that had tumblers but did not use them . 

 Approach 

 Visualization could show how big an impact a person 's small actions would be when gathered .   But as Insight said , I felt that I had to be motivated to lead people 's fundamental behavior and   change . 

 To do this , it seems that not only simple visualization but also storytelling should be added . To   understand and approach human complex thoughts and feelings , it seems necessary to   approach them in a complex way , not in one way . 

 In the future , depending on the nature of the problem , I would like to use more than two methods   to effectively approach it .
