    Skills You Will Build in This Kaizen CourseFrom Gemba to Standard Work

    This Kaizen course teaches you the full continuous improvement toolkit, from understanding the philosophy to planning, running and sustaining a Kaizen event. By the end you can facilitate structured improvement using PDCA, waste analysis, 5S and standard work.

    The Kaizen Philosophy and Mindset

    Understand Kaizen as both a daily mindset and a structured method, how it differs from one-off innovation, and the business case for continuous improvement in productivity, lead time, quality and safety.

    The PDCA Cycle and Gemba

    Apply the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle as the backbone of Kaizen, and use the Gemba principle of going to the actual place to observe work, material flow and quality where they happen.

    Identifying Waste: Muda, Mura and Muri

    Recognise the eight wastes of Lean using the DOWNTIME model, and spot unevenness and overburden so you can prioritise the improvements that matter most to flow and cost.

    Root Cause Analysis Tools

    Use 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams and process flow mapping to move quickly from a problem to its true root cause and design countermeasures that hold.

    Planning and Running a Kaizen Event

    Select the right target, set measurable objectives, assemble a cross-functional team, and facilitate an event through observation, analysis, future-state design and implementation.

    5S, Standard Work and Sustaining Gains

    Apply 5S, standard work, spaghetti diagrams and the Kaizen newspaper, then use 30-60-90 day audits and daily Kaizen to make sure improvements are sustained, not lost.

    Will I be able to run a Kaizen event after the training?
