what is a Kaizen event?

Answer 1

An intensive burst of business process improvement, usually involving...

1) Preparation by the Kaizen Event Leaders

2) Anywhere from a half day to a 5-day "Kaizen Event" - where representatives from every group of stakeholders devote undivided attention to improving one business process with clearly defined boundaries. Examples of clearly-defined improvement objectives might include:

Reduce costs by 20%
Reduce process cycle time by 50%
Reduce scrap by 80%
3) The month after the Kaizen Event...

There might be some training needed for people that didn't participate in the Kaizen - to teach them "the new way"
There might be some follow-up to teach how to use a new business process improvement tool, or "tie up a few loose ends"
The day after the Lean Kaizen Event...

The new process is expected to be actually used!
