Kaizen Fundamentals communicates the philosophy that strives for perfection and sustains your Lean business system on a daily basis. It engages your people in a business-specific process improvement that returns performance results that cannot be ignored. Your company notches a win and your people see what’s possible. Complementary to Six Sigma, kaizen accelerates your efforts to make huge improvements to processes of the enterprise in manufacturing, production, administrative.
The driving forceKaizen Fundamentals provides talent and learning development to work groups involved in manufacturing, production and administrative processes. This suite is especially beneficial to operators, work teams (cells), engineers, front line supervisors, management and continuous improvement teams.
The benefitsKaizen Fundamentals instills a disciplined, standardized method for the improvement of a process or activity to create more value and eliminate waste. The series clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of management and work groups and is instrumental to outlining the infrastructure and commitment necessary for success.

The Lean Horizons approachThe Lean Horizons Kaizen Fundamentals suite includes:
Introduction to Lean: Associates on kaizen teams who have not had a formal introduction to Lean will benefit from this overview course of Lean concepts, tools and methods
Kaizen for Leaders: This session provides a viewpoint for leadership on the critical skills and actions required to lead the change and improvement process in their organization. Under the guidance of our Lean experts, leadership will explore and discuss topics including roles, responsibilities and expectations when engaging Lean.
Kaizen Process: A focused methodology used for the implementation of Lean (office or factory), this module covers the structure of a kaizen event (preparation, execution, and follow up) and the keys to results-oriented execution and implementation. This is a disciplined process that is critical for Lean transformations.
5S: Sort, Straighten, Scrub, Stabilize, Sustain: a visually-oriented system for organizing the workplace to minimize the waste of time. This module is a foundational tool that links workplace organization to visual management to drive improvement at all levels.
Visual Management: The ability to determine abnormal from normal is a fundamental capability. Building processes where visual management is the initial indicator of waste is essential to making sustainable continuous improvement a reality. Focused on operator, supervisor and management awareness, visual management becomes a core competency of any Lean transformation.
Standard Work: A process that defines the interaction of people and their environment to maximize productivity in order to meet business and customer demands. Encompassing the most comprehensive list of waste identification tools, this module introduces and illustrates each of the fundamental Lean tools such as takt time, time observation, resource-loading charts, standard work combination sheets, spaghetti diagrams, 5S, production control boards, standard work in process inventory, kanban and more.
SMED: Single Minute Exchange of Dies, or SMED, is a critical tool to drive reductions in time when changing from one manufacturing process or model to another. SMED, a technique used to create both capacity and flexibility within operations, maximizes return on investment and economic value added. This module walks participants through both the tools and methodology for implementing and sustaining SMED activities.
