This channel is an absolute gem. I have been all over KZbin looking for CI coaching/instructional videos and yours is by far the best. Thanks for what you're doing.

Ethan Beurskens thank you! Sincerely appreciate the positive comment! I don’t get many views but as long as I keep getting responses like this, I’ll keep posting. 🙏

@@learnkaizen Your video on how to plan a kaizen had me filling about half a notepad with thoughts and scribbles. I'm a recently certified green belt and I am suppose to start facilitating kaizen events in the next few months. Your videos are game changers for me. A lot of this material you are going over, you just don't learn it in training. Thank you

@@thedriftlessdrifter Most training tends to cover a bunch of tools but miss the mark on concept. If you understand the concept, you can shift and remain agile using the tool. I've ran into a lot of folks who teach Lean and Six Sigma but don't have that much experience actually using what's being taught, in the real-world...which is a quick "teacher" on what works and what doesn't so well. The great thing about Kaizen is that you'll get better - the more you facilitate. Let me know if you have specific questions. Appreciate your support on my channel.

Thanks for the video, good affirmation of the necessary steps for a Kaizen event.

Made a MS Excel for an event to solve 1 problem for a fast paced Logistics company - was looking for the blueprint in this video to solve for RME teams at Amazon

I need advice on running a short Kaizen for an end to end cleaning process in a manufacturing environment. I only have an initial 3 hour session with 5-8 people and I've already drafted the problem statement and the scope. Is stepping right into the current state process map the best quick solve? Ed S.

[@learnkaizen]

It depends on the problem statement. The scope sounds rather large “end to end” but it just depends on the problem statement. Can you share it?

I work in CI and have been tasked with coming up with a process to audit kaizen events. Do you have a form or set of questions you go through after the event to determine how successful it was, and to what extent improvements have been sustained?

[@learnkaizen]

Typically the Kaizen is tracked through a sustainment metric…for a set number of days…90-120 days is sufficient but keep it visual! I go over this and provide a sustainment template inside the Kaizen Expert Masterclass…here’s a link if interested. No pressure www.learnkaizen.com
