| TARGET AUDIENCE | COURSE LENGTH |
| Anyone (particularly teams) involved in, or managing, a Kaizen Event. The goal of Kaizen is to eliminate waste in the value stream. This is performed through just-in-time delivery, leveling “production” output, achieving standardized work, pacing (takt time), equipment sizing, reducing inventory, and much more. Kaizen is done as incremental process improvement to improve quality and safety, and to reduce cost. |
