Environmental Kaizen

In the past, proposals to eliminate waste usually involved completely new manufacturing processes and equipment with significant capital and implementation resources. Today you can get fast solutions with minimum investment.



Develop a strategic
plan for:
  • Waste reduction
  • Source reduction
  • Waste management
  • Pollution prevention
  • Energy utilization
  • Hazardous waste management
  • Sustainable development
  • Material substitution
  • Resource conservation

    Learn to use
    these Kaizen tools:
  • Process mapping
  • Root cause analysis
  • Cause and effect diagrams
  • Problem definition
  • Team problem solving
  • Implementation techniques
  • Pull together an effective environmental team in only one week!!
    The environmental kaizen draws together a multi-functional team of 10–15 full-time employees and immerses them in a week-long waste reduction effort. The kaizen not only produces a plan for solutions, but will implement that plan and create a foundation for a continuous improvement process.

    Take advantage of the Environmental Kaizen approach for rapid low-cost improvements.

    The environmental kaizen from NBDC is facilitated experienced consultants from the Nebraska Manufacturing Extension Partnership.
