The Kaizen Event approach can be applied to any problem or process and it always follows the same key steps

1. Project charter - Summary of currently situation
2. Find a Sponsor - Authorise, Legitimise and demonstrate ownership of the change
3. Build a Value Stream Map - Highlights sources of waste, barriers and opportunities
4. Affinitisation - Group issues and barriers into themes
5. Root Cause Analysis - Solve the real problem
6. Kaizen Implementation Center - Prioritise and schedule actions
7. Kaizen Event - 3 to 5 day facilitated event
8. Report Out - Team present to management what has been achieved
9. Metrics - Define how success is measured
10. 21 Day Follow Up - Close out any remaining actions
11. Success Story - Publish, share and celebrate success

Over the next few weeks we will go over all of these in detail
