Rapid Improvement Event Coaching and Facilitation
Scaling Kaizen
This onsite one-to three-day event focuses on empowering the people who do the work to eliminate waste and reduce the burden of work for a particular process. While 5 day RPIWs are facilitated by the certified lean specialists, these shorter events bring 3-5 staff together to improve specific work. These events can occur within an organization’s focused Value Stream, or in specific departments with a more narrow scope.
