 The
experience of the godfather of lean
manufacturing, Norman Bodek, is now
available in a training package.
The Quick & Easy Kaizen Solution Package is
the most effective and powerful way to
implement a practical and sustainable
employee-led improvement system by
encompassing the often-ignored, human
(employee) side of lean manufacturing. The Quick
& Easy Kaizen Solution Package is authored by Norman Bodek
and made popular by his award winning Shingo
Prize book, Quick & Easy Kaizen: The Idea
Generator.
This training package
recognizes that the employee performing the
work is the expert concerning his/her job
function and should be given the power to
make changes to his/her work environment.
Quick & Easy Kaizen trains employees to be
responsible for improvements on a daily
basis.
This is a one-day kaizen event training package.

Quick and Easy Kaizen Process
The structure:
- Employee identifies a problem and
formally documents it.
- Employee develops improvement to
correct the problem; immediately makes
the appropriate change if able or, as
with large ideas, goes to supervisor for
approval and help.
- In the case of large ideas,
supervisor reviews the idea. Upon
approval, employee implements idea.
- The initial problem, idea, and
before and after photos are entered into
a database.
- Supervisor posts idea on display
board so that others in the company can
learn and the employee who came up with
the idea is recognized.
Quick and Easy Kaizen
empowers employees, enriches the work
experience, and brings out the best in every
employee. As Norman Bodek would exclaim,
Quick and Easy Kaizen releases their
creative energy. This is the only training
package you need to develop the best
world-class improvement culture.
