Frequently asked questions

What types of metrics should you track on a kaizen board?

Track metrics directly related to your problem statement and business objectives. Common measurements include reduced defect rates, decreased cycle times, cost savings, improved productivity rates, and reduced waste. Always establish baseline measurements before implementing changes so you can accurately document the improvement’s impact.

What should you do if your kaizen initiative is only “partially effective”?

First, analyze which aspects worked and which didn’t meet expectations. Review your root cause analysis to ensure you addressed the actual problem. Consider running a smaller follow-up kaizen event focused specifically on the underperforming aspects. Document lessons learned and use this information to improve your approach for future initiatives.

How can you ensure team engagement when implementing kaizen initiatives using this template?

Involve team members in completing each section of the template, especially those who work directly with the process being improved. Hold regular review meetings to discuss progress and celebrate small wins. Make the board visible and accessible to all team members, and recognize contributions to encourage continued participation.
