All About Kaizen
Lean Foundations
Continuous Improvement Training
Another methodology: Kaizen
Within the Continuous Improvement tools arena,
perhaps none is more critical than Kaizen events.
While other lean tools may stand alone, Kaizens
seek to change culture and processes through the
utilization of many of the lean enterprise principles
Kaizens seek small daily improvements resulting in
large yearly savings
Compared to a large-scale DMAIC project, Kaizens
focus on short-term “blitzes” to make immediate
impact and change (change for the better)
The process of leading a Kaizen however, follows
the DMAIC format
Learning Objective
This section seeks to standardize the process of
Kaizens in an attempt to provide useful tools
allowing ‘first-time’ facilitators to ‘hit the ground
running’ with a project of their own. One
important concept is to start small and tackle the
more complex problems at a later date - once
momentum is built and the Kaizen process has
been understood
Some of the tools include a Kaizen Schedule,
Kaizen Area Improvement Sheet, 7W and 5S
forms, Area Action Form, Prioritization Matrix,
and a Problem Record Sheet (These are
embedded in the presentation and located in
forms section …)

Overview
What is Kaizen ?
(Ky-Zen)
“Continual Improvement”
Kai = Change
Zen = Good (for the Better)
The Basic Philosophy Is to Involve All Employees in
Small, Daily Improvements within their Work Areas.

25% Improvement
Per Year
DMAIC and PDCA
FIRST - Standardize, Do, Check, Act (Ensure process is stable)
THEN – Plan (for more improvement), Do, Check, Act
D

Identify Waste
Collect Data
Identify Desired Result

Prevent Recurrence

Overview
What is a Kaizen event?
A Kaizen event is a planned event (2 - 5 days) of
intense improvement activities directed at specific
areas of the business toward a larger goal
Kaizen events are essentially narrow-focused,
short-term DMAIC projects. These can ALSO be
done as part of any Lean, BB or GB project
A Kaizen event is a cycle of improvement
How do I do a Kaizen event ?
You do a Kaizen the same way as a DMAIC project
and using PDCA as your guide
Cycle of ‘Continual’ Improvement
Kaizens follow a continuing cycle of improvement
S = Study the change, assure it is stable – then, improve again!

Benefits of a Kaizen
Teamwork
Everyone is able to participate and make
improvements
No one individual, but a team, make the
improvements
Communication
Improved relations between associates
and management
Education
Improved problem solving
The more you teach someone to fish the
more than can feed themselves
Benefits of a Kaizen
Awareness
Understanding of broad issues and
objectives of the organization as a whole
Better understanding of Continuous
Improvement and the challenges involved
with Change
Confidence
Stronger feelings of self-worth
Empowerment
Increased control over the job and work
environment which fosters ownership and
commitment to the change process
All employees now feel
they have a voice in the process!
Planning requires good Project Management
Define (Plan)
Measure
(Do)

Kaizen Best Practices
No rank on team, each person gets one vote
(similar to brainstorming techniques)
Be creative, practical, and open minded to other
ideas (“Think outside-of-the-box” and break
Paradigms)
Don’t blame others and ALL questions are good
questions
Accomplish as much as you can during the
Kaizen
Document results with pictures for presentation
to show verification
HAVE FUN !!
(This is the time to work on culture change !)
