Business Process ImprovementWhy Outsource? Do it better here...
Kaizen - aka Continuous Improvement
Kai - means to change, take apart, separate. Zen - means good. Kaizen is all about making positive changes and correcting problems for the good of all process stakeholders, including customers, workers, managers, investors, and regulators.
Why Outsource? We can do it better here
Cheaper labor is the reason why we've lost so many American jobs. If we could make the same products with better quality, faster delivery, and lower cost; why outsource? Lean concepts, just like so many international brands were developed here in America. Here is the opportunity to perfect our offerings and make American products here in America, and create jobs for Americans!
Lean, Six Sigma and Kaizen Kaye, LLC
Lean is focused on creating customer flow by eliminating waste and all non-value added activities from a business process. Six Sigma is focused on reducing product variation. Lean, Six Sigma and Kaizen Kaye, LLC combined with teamwork and employee engagement provide just what today's businesses need to stay healthy and globally competitive.
Satisfy Your Customer with No Waste
No waste means satisfying your customer with nothing missing and nothing overdone. Lean provides a visual method to measure, analyze, and reduce wastes such as unnecessary motion and transportation, wait time, rework, inspection, inventory, and backlogs.
How Strong is Your Value Chain?
Your value chain is only going to be as strong as the weakest link, and your customer does not want to pay for anything that doesn't add value. Most work processes are found to contain up to 90% waste. Don't make your customer pay for that waste. Lean Six Sigma provides the tools to 'see' the process so you can recognize and eliminate the waste, thereby allowing you to shorten your turnaround time, increase your cash flow, and standardize your processes and quality in order to gain your customer's confidence and trust.
If you're not using Lean, chances are your competition is...
If you are interested in radically increasing your cash flow and improving the profitability and sales of your organization by focusing on earning and increasing the trust of your customers, try the Kaizen Kaye, LLC business process improvement system.
Slow Processes Delay Customer Value
It's not slow workers that delay customer value, it's slow processes. Your best employees want to do a good job and they want your business to stay healthy. They know your customers, and they are the experts at the work they do. The Kaizen Kaye, LLC business process improvement system provides a forum for employees to expose and eliminate the waste and frustrations that prevent them from doing their best work and providing exceptional customer service.
Change Management = Change Marketing
Change will only be implemented effectively when the people who have to implement the change have 'bought in' to the change. An effective lean implementation is only possible when it is supported by top management and everyone is involved. Communication and action, followed by just-in-time training and implementation, are the keys to rapid, effective change; and are all a part of the Kaizen Kaye, LLC Business Process Improvement System.
Make Problem Solving Visual
Effective problem solving starts with carefully describing the problem, and determining its true root cause. Since over 90% of verbal communication is body language and tone, using graphic images increases understanding as people prefer to 'see' the problem versus 'hearing' complaints. Let Kaizen Kaye teach your people how to see and eliminate the waste in their day-to-day work processes.
Value Stream Mapping
Value Stream Mapping is designed to show the flow and metrics of any type of process. It is a visual tool that helps us to clearly understand and simplify a complex situation so we can think of ways to improve performance. It helps us to 'see' the waste in our processes by detailing:
Used in conjunction with Value Stream Mapping, A3 Problem Solving is a very thorough, 10-step process that utilizes the '5 Whys', isolates a root cause, determines a solution, tests the solution, and develops implementation and follow-up plans... all on one piece of 11"X17" paper!
The paper size limitation in A3 Problem Solving narrows the scope of the problem solving, and facilitates deep 'root cause' solution-finding. Let us show your team how to eliminate problems versus working around them.
Solving Problems as Easy as 1-2-3
Solve any problem the lean way and eliminate the waste in traditional problem-solving.

- Process Steps
- Inventory (work in process and finished goods)
- Wait and Process times
- Loops and Rework cycles
- Headcount, etc.

Solving Problems as Easy as 1-2-3
Solve any problem the lean way and eliminate the waste in traditional problem-solving.
- Document the value stream or process using VSM
- Identify 'time traps', excess inventory, rework loops, etc.
- Create an A3 for each 'problem' identified
- Carefully document current condition
- Determine root causes and solutions
- Document target condition
- Develop implementation, control & follow-up plans
Standardize and Document the Process
Getting employees involved in improving the process is the best way to gain their buy-in for implementation and maintenance of the changes. Immediate documentation of the new process facilitates everyone's understanding and compliance with the changes. Take advantage of humans' best learning approach -- Seeing and Doing. Visual tools such as pictorials, process maps, quick reference cards, and Standard Operating Procedures help the user 'visualize' what good or correct looks like. Effective documentation is a requirement for many certifications such as ISO, so let Kaizen Kaye, LLC take away your documentation worries.
Let Kaizen Kaye, LLC Show You How
Getting people to change isn't easy. However, not innovating means disaster for businesses in today's economy because today's customers have high expectations from their goods and services.
