Kaizen Event Workshop

(for Office too)
 
Are you looking to utilize Kaizen Events in your Lean Implementation? Would you like to have your team guided through the process?
Kaizen Events can be as short as one-day Kaizen Blitz or a two- to five-day event. If this is the first event for the majority of the participants, a minimum of a four- or five-day event should be planned. This allows time to review key Lean Principles and tools that are expected to be used during the course of the event along with more time to experiment with some of the counter-intuitive Lean concepts.
EXEGENS facilitates this entire process and provides the training. Your organization designates a Team Leader who co-ordinates the effort with our assistance. By then end of the event, they are truly leading the activity and everyone has learned the mechanics of the process. Participants receive guidebooks that contain the instructional information presented to keep for future reference.

Day 1 (2nd half) & Day 2 – Collect current state data & document. Develop current state Value Stream Map (VSM).
Day 3 – Determine desired future state, identify opportunities for improvement, brainstorm solutions, and test selected solutions. Make changes to actual process.
Day 4 – Prepare management presentation. Document changes (Standard Work, Assembly Instructions, ISO documents, etc.) Train personnel on the new process. Deliver management presentation.
