    From Firefighting to Leading Improvement

    Your Before and After with Kaizen

    What Our Learners Say

    Ran My First Kaizen Event with Confidence

    "The hands-on workshop made the difference. I went back to our packaging line and facilitated a Kaizen event the same week, using the PDCA cycle and a spaghetti diagram to cut unnecessary movement. Practical from start to finish."

    The Waste Analysis Tools Clicked Immediately

    "Learning to spot the eight wastes at the Gemba changed how I look at our processes. The 5 Whys and Fishbone sessions were clear and easy to apply. I now lead root cause discussions with much more structure."

    Mariana Torres

    Quality Engineer

    Simple, Useful and Straight to the Point

    "As a supervisor I wanted tools I could use on the floor, not theory. The 5S and standard work sections gave me exactly that. My team is already keeping improvements in place after we made them."

    Great Fit for Our Onsite Team Training

    "We trained a cross-functional team onsite and it created a shared improvement language across shifts. The trainer used our own processes as examples, so people applied the method the next day. Real, measurable results."

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Kaizen is a Japanese continuous improvement method meaning change for the better, built on small, team-based steps made every day. The one-day Kaizen training in Puerto Rico teaches the philosophy, the PDCA cycle and how to plan, run and sustain a Kaizen event, with hands-on workshop exercises throughout.

    General

    What is Kaizen and how does the training work?

    Kaizen is a Japanese continuous improvement method meaning change for the better, built on small, team-based steps made every day. The one-day Kaizen training in Puerto Rico teaches the philosophy, the PDCA cycle and how to plan, run and sustain a Kaizen event, with hands-on workshop exercises throughout.

    Is Kaizen training worth it for professionals in Puerto Rico?

    Yes. Puerto Rico's pharmaceutical, medical device and manufacturing plants actively seek people who can lead continuous improvement, and continuous improvement roles on the island pay well, averaging around $73,700 and rising above $100,000 at manager level. Best of all, the skills apply immediately on the job.

    Who should attend the Kaizen course?

    The course suits operations and manufacturing managers, Lean and continuous improvement coordinators, production supervisors, team leaders, quality engineers and anyone leading or joining improvement initiatives. It fits any sector where structured, team-based improvement is needed.

    Do I need prior Lean knowledge to join?

    No. There are no prerequisites. Some familiarity with Lean ideas such as waste and flow is helpful, but the course introduces every concept from first principles, so beginners and experienced practitioners both benefit.

    How is Kaizen different from a one-off improvement project?

    Kaizen improves processes through many small, sustainable steps made by everyone, rather than occasional large projects. This makes gains easier to sustain and builds an improvement culture. The course shows how daily Kaizen and structured Kaizen events work together.

    Pricing

    How much does Kaizen training cost in Puerto Rico?

    Fees vary by delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate onsite) and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote for individual or group training.

    What is included in the course fee?

    Your fee covers instructor-led delivery of all six Kaizen modules, hands-on workshop simulation, learning materials and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to see the inclusions for your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. Corporate group training is available with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, departments and business units across Puerto Rico. Ask about corporate and group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Is onsite training more cost-effective for teams?

    Often, yes. Training a cross-functional team together in one onsite or live virtual session usually costs less per learner and creates a shared improvement language. Request a group quote to compare options for your site.

    Assessment

    How is learning assessed in the Kaizen course?

    Learning is reinforced through hands-on workshop simulation, team activities and group discussion during the one-day programme. There is no formal assessment to pass; instead you practise planning and running a Kaizen event so you can apply the method at work straight away.

    Do I receive anything on completion?

    Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning confirming you have completed the one-day Kaizen training. The lasting value is the practical continuous improvement capability you can use from day one.

    Is Kaizen a recognised method?

    Kaizen is a globally recognised continuous improvement method rooted in the Toyota Production System and Lean management. The course builds practical, widely valued skills; it is skills training rather than a formal qualification, so there is nothing to maintain over time.

    Will I be able to lead a Kaizen event afterwards?

    Yes. By the end you can plan, facilitate and sustain a structured Kaizen event: selecting a target, running Gemba observation and root cause analysis, designing the future state, implementing improvements and standardising the result.

    How does Kaizen relate to Lean and Six Sigma?

    Kaizen is the engine of Lean improvement and is used in the Improve and Control phases of Six Sigma DMAIC projects. It draws on the same tools, such as 5S, standard work and root cause analysis, so the course complements Lean and Six Sigma learning.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Kaizen training cover?

    The programme covers six modules: the Kaizen philosophy, the PDCA cycle and thinking tools, planning a Kaizen event, running an event phase by phase, Kaizen tools in practice (5S, standard work, spaghetti diagram, Kaizen newspaper) and sustaining continuous improvement.

    How long is the Kaizen course?

    The course is delivered in one day (8 hours), or as two half-day sessions of 4 hours. It covers the full Kaizen method with hands-on workshop simulation exercises throughout.

    What practical exercises are included?

    You take part in workshop simulations where you practise Gemba observation, waste identification, root cause analysis with 5 Whys and Fishbone diagrams, and future-state design, so you can plan and facilitate a Kaizen event during the session.

    What tools will I learn to use?

    You learn the PDCA cycle, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), Gemba walks, 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, 5S, standard work, spaghetti diagrams, time observation and the Kaizen newspaper for tracking actions.

    Is the course suitable for non-manufacturing teams?

    Yes. While Kaizen began in manufacturing, the method applies in healthcare, logistics, financial services, IT and any setting where teams want continuous, sustainable process improvement.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment and you receive access to schedules, materials and learning resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor to get started.

    What training formats are available in Puerto Rico?

    The Kaizen course is available as live virtual (online) instructor-led training, in-person classroom training and customised corporate onsite delivery, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and team.

    Can Kaizen training be delivered at our workplace?

    Yes. Corporate onsite delivery is available for teams in Puerto Rico, and it is particularly effective because participants can plan and practise a Kaizen event using their own real processes during the session.

    Can I reschedule my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch on selected plans. Contact support to arrange this before your session.

    How do I get support before enrolling?
