Kaizen Events and Custom Workshops

The Nebraska Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NMEP) creates and fosters opportunities for leading Lean practitioners to participate in Kaizen events.

WHAT IS A KAIZEN EVENT?

An intense four- to five-day team-based opportunity to learn by doing.

A kaizen improves processes quickly and fosters organizational problem solving.

A low-cost, effective approach to making rapid improvement in any area of the business process.

Creates and immerses a multi-functional team of employees in a week-long effort to develop a plan to solve a particular problem.

Through involvement of everyone from top managers to lowest level workers in the problem-solving process, a kaizen breaks down institutional barriers to communication.

NBDC/MEP facilitators will lead the Kaizen effort and will help your company implement the resulting plan and create a foundation for a continuous improvement process.
