# Kaizen Event Template

Purpose: Run a focused multi-day rapid improvement event that maps the current state, redesigns the process, implements the change live, and standardizes the gains.

- Duration: Multi-day event (3 to 5 days; about 2400 minutes of working time)
- Cadence: As needed
- Participants: Cross-functional improvement team and process operators (5-10 people)

## Agenda

- [ ] Charter and current-state map (Day 1)
- [ ] Analyze waste and root cause (Day 1 to 2)
- [ ] Design the future state (Day 2 to 3)
- [ ] Implement and pilot the new process (Day 3 to 4)
- [ ] Standardize the new standard work (Day 4)
- [ ] Report out and confirm sustain plan (Day 5)

## Facilitator tips

- Charter a tight scope; solve one process.
- Implement inside the event, not as a later list.
- Keep the operators central to the redesign.
- Standardize and build visual controls to hold gains.
