Kaizen Event and Facilitation Skills

A Kaizen Event is a highly effective way to achieve team driven results – FAST!  By using a discipline and structured approach, participants will learn techniques to execute and implement projects through a one week Kaizen Event.  Approaches to running typical Kaizen Events types such as 5S, Changeover Reduction, TPM, and Workplace Design will be covered.   Additionally, participants will learn about the preparation needed to select appropriate Kaizen Event projects, build the team, plan the week, and ensure follow up and closure.  Essential to the execution of a Kaizen Event is the ability of the event lead to facilitate a team and make rapid decisions in a fast paced, time critical environment.  Kaizen Event facilitation skills will be taught in order to optimize teamwork, apply Lean methods, and achieve results.
