Mobilizing Kaizen Champions
Successful performance improvement programs integrate know-how, empowerment and execution to achieve explosive financial results. The spark that ignites these combined elements is called a Kaizen event.

Kaizen literally means continuous improvement. It has become synonymous with a rapid, high intensity, team-based effort to make quick changes in a focused area of the business - whether on the shop floor, in administrative processes or in product design. This burst of improvement, when properly focused and maintained, creates faster financial results than typical improvement approaches. For this reason, it is a key enabler for successful corporate level improvement programs such as Six Sigma, Lean and Lean Six Sigma.
