The Kaizen Event Workshop
Facilitated by Enrique Mora

Compared to many other kaizen consultant, Enrique avoids a general, philosophical approach. Rather he aims to be intensely practical, providing proven, actionable, "how-to" information to individuals and businesses that need to optimize their lean manufacturing results in order to reach their full growth and earning potentials.

A Non-disruptive Kaizen Knowledge Transfer

The majority of the workshop is carried out in the factory. Most of our kaizen knowledge and implementation "how-to" transfer is done at the employee's work place. Class room training is limited to gaining a project commitment, team dynamics and workshop exercises.

 It's the "how to" that really counts!

One of our customers saying it better than we can:

"Enrique's training is focused on the "how to." Unlike other seminars that tell you only what you need to do... Enrique's training presents what you need to do and then he shows you how to do it."

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 event

The level of involvement and commitment required

Team members' roles, expectations and selection

Performance recognition and acknowledgement.

Our preference is to meet with the CEO and Operations executives at the factory 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 understanding of the event's objectives and expectations. If agreement is reached and the event is approved, a time schedule is established.

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 to budget for travel expenses. 

Get Acquainted Meeting

To schedule our get acquainted meeting, contact Bill Gaw at: 760-945-5596 or email him at: bg@bbasicsllc.com At no cost and no obligation of course.
