Generate Sustainable Breakthroughs
Kaizen is
a primary source of change and sustainable breakthrough improvements for
companies on their journey to best in class performance. Begin to engage all of
your associates in implementing change in the workplace.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE - COST ADD/VALUE ADD
The typical business process is 30% value added and 70% cost added.
Cost added activities are the activities that if the customer knew they went on
they would not willingly pay for them. The Kaizen team event eliminates these
non-value added activities and reduces your processes to the core value or
work.
During the workshop a dedicated team is formed. What you will
