Accomplish Performance Improvement in Days Rather than Months and Sustain the Gains

LE202 is a Lean implementation event that involves a series of activities which follow a structured 10-step process enabling a team to achieve rapid, action-oriented improvements identified during the Value Stream Mapping Event (LE201).

Specifically, the Kaizen event addresses individual problem areas identified by Process Mapping, using the industry standard Plan– Do–Check–Act problem-solving model.

Learn to—

	•	Solve priority problems identified by VSM
	•	Bridge current state and targeted futurestate

Use intervention techniques to—

	•	Reduce production lead time, inventory, and cost
	•	Increase available capacity
	•	Decrease area footprint
	•	Reduce order lead time
	•	Reduce material and operator travel distance

The 10-step Kaizen process is a data-driven method of focusing on identifying and resolving specific problems related to the desired future state. Once these problems are identified and resolved, typical results are—

	•	50% improvement in productivity
	•	85% improvement in quality
