Management Development

Kaizen Basics

No ordinary workshop - 5 days of intensive hands-on training and application of techniques.

What Is Kaizen?

Essentially, Kaizen is the low-cost no-cost improvement that takes place every day, although rarely valued and directed by today's product managers. Forward Vision has married the kaizen philosophy with European attitudes and behaviour proving it to be one of the most effective management principles around today.

As the workshop progresses, you will gain first hand insight into the creativity, simplicity and flexibility of the Genba Kaizen approach, its ease of adoption by team members on the shop floor and its adaptability to any manufacturing business - including your own.
