    Skills You Will Build in This Kaizen Course

    Hands-On Continuous Improvement Capabilities

    This training gives you practical, workplace-ready continuous improvement skills. By the end of the one-day programme you can apply the Kaizen philosophy, run a structured improvement event and sustain the gains through standard work.

    Apply the Kaizen Philosophy

    You will learn what Kaizen is and how to apply it: making small, incremental improvements that everyone contributes to every day. Understand how the mindset differs from one-off change and why it underpins Lean management and operational excellence.

    Work the PDCA Cycle

    Use Plan-Do-Check-Act as a repeatable problem-solving loop: define the problem, trial countermeasures, check results against targets and standardise what works so the improvement holds.

    See and Remove the Eight Wastes

    Identify Muda, Mura and Muri and the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) during a Gemba walk, then use 5 Whys and fishbone analysis to reach the root cause rather than the symptom.

    Plan and Run a Kaizen Event

    Select the right target, set measurable objectives, assemble a cross-functional team and facilitate a Kaizen event through its observe, analyse, improve and standardise phases.

    Apply Core Kaizen Tools

    Put 5S, standard work, spaghetti diagrams, cycle time analysis and the Kaizen newspaper to work so improvements are visible, measurable and repeatable across the team.

    Sustain Gains and Build a CI Culture

    Use visual management, layered audits and 30-60-90 day follow-up to hold gains, and embed daily Kaizen so continuous improvement becomes a lasting team habit.
