Did you know businesses are implementing Lean initiatives so they can remain market leaders? If a business is the market leader today, but fails to continually improve its products and services, eventually, a competitor will either make it quicker, better or cheaper, taking its customers away. To meet today’s challenges, businesses are continually seeking out methods to increase quality and reduce waste. Among the options, companies are improving their quality system, and implementing Lean initiatives and new processes at their facilities. Many companies are embracing the Kaizen structured approach to continually improve processes. This interactive online course will cover the continuous improvement process known as Kaizen. Kaizen measures improvement by working on an existing problem and following through with actions to correct it. It is not just a one-time event; it is a process that can occur every day.
