Book description
Kaizen and Kaizen Event Implementation outlines
the fundamental aspects of an effective continuous improvement
program that can be used to implement lean and make it stay.
Creating and sustaining change can only happen when management is
completely dedicated to continuous improvement. Kaizen
and Kaizen Event Implementation will break down the most
common uses for kaizen events, and how to plan, execute, and follow
up on each of them.
Kaizen and Kaizen Event Implementation will first
outline the key aspects of a company kaizen program including the
kaizen governing committee, the kaizen champion, tracking and
schedule of kaizen events, and the communication system within the
organization. It will also give detailed direction on numerous
types of kaizen events and how each requires different approaches
to implementation. This is where Kaizen and Kaizen Event
Implementation will stand-alone as the "the book" on
kaizen.
Kaizen and Kaizen Event Implementation emphasizes
culture change and how management must deal with resistance to lean
and change. Without management commitment and employee buy in, lean
and kaizen will go away.
