Kaizen Workshop Melbourne – Leading Teams through Productivity Improvement

Implementing Change for the Better

Kaizen (from the Japanese Kai-Zen meaning ‘change for the better’) is the common term for ongoing improvement activity, often as a rapid event targeting a specific process. Frequent Kaizen is one of the behaviours of high performing organisations.

Our Kaizen training workshop provides participants with a simple framework and tool-set that teams can deploy to identify improvement opportunities and execute projects that deliver a measurable return to the organisation. Synergen Group proudly delivers the Kaizen Workshop throughout Australia including Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and New Zealand.

At the conclusion of this workshop participants are expected to;

• Create value stream maps of business processes,
• Identify & prioritise improvement opportunity,
• Create an improvement plan using the DMAIC method and A3 planning,
• Support an improvement project and use team based creative problem solving to resolve barriers,
• Measure project results and report on achievements,
• Ensure improvements are locked in to prevent teams from going back to the ‘old way’.

The workshop is typically one day in duration and progresses through three main themes:
