“Get competitive... there is no status quo for winners!” That's our mantra for individuals and companies that want to survive these turbulent times. It may sound cruel but it is reality; either you find a way to continually increase speed, improve quality and reduce non-value-added cost or you may not survive during these turbulent times.
That said, we believe that to survive in competitive environments, com- panies need to focus/refocus on a continuous improvement initiative. A study of successful companies will invariably show that they have developed a culture of gradual, continuous improvement. Remember this, you're either winning or losing... there is no status quo!
Our Kaizen Event Workshop is an on-site, team coaching that produces an immediate, effective, sustainable continuous improvement process. Its being used by leading companies to increase speed, improve quality, and reduce non-value-added costs. Profits generated drop directly to the bottom line.
The Kaizen Event Workshop
by Enrique Mora
When we produce a Kaizen Event Workshop, we meet with the team that usually is comprised of a wide range of participants; operators, supervisors, and leaders, and top management.
The first meeting is about making everyone aware of the benefits and value that continuous improvement brings to all of them. The event starts with the discussion of the improvement opportunities identified in a clearly delineated area of a plant.
Participative Training
To transform the working area into a friendlier, safer, and more productive place and to start taking advantage of identified opportunities, we use motivational learning techniques to help participants contribute their creativity and ingenuity.
We will usually discuss a few of the lean management strategies and tools, especially those that are immediately applicable to the area in focus. Then we take a tour in the area and identify not only the opportunities they had already identified, but many more, some times as many as three or four times the original list of opportunities.
Applying the Knowledge
We then, in alternative sessions between the classroom and the work area start a selective process defining which of the improvements would give us the fastest and most rewarding results. When I say “rewarding” here, not necessarily do I mean economic results. Here we talk about “Cultural Rewards.” This means we look for those improvements that will certainly give the operation more safety, efficiency, and the participants more pride! This pride is what can make the difference between a flash and a perpetual light in your kaizen process.
Once we have performed several of these in different areas in the plant, we will reach a point where most people not only are familiar with the Kaizen Blitz, but many become authentic enthused proponents and champions of Kaizen.

Your Kaizen Event Workshop: How do we get started?
Congratulations, if you have read this far, you are an excellent candidate for a Kaizen Event Workshop. A pre-event meeting is necessary to assure that there is mutual understanding and agreement about:
The structure and objective of your 5-day training
The level of involvement and commitment required
Team members' roles, expectations and selection
Project cost accounting tracking and recording
Our preference is to meet with the CEO, CFO, and COO or their dele-gates at the company's site where the proposed Kaizen Event Workshop would take place. A morning "get acquainted" meeting and plant tour is usually sufficient to cover the above subjects and establish mutual understand-ing of the Kaizen Event Workshop's objectives and expectations. If agreement is reached and the event is approved, a proposal will be prepared for your review and approval.
If the factory site is in Southern California, there is no charge for this meeting. If it is outside Southern California, we ask that the potential client budget for travel expenses.
