Kobetsu Kaizen (Focused Continuous Improvement) Program
Kobetsu Kaizen is a management approach and improvement culture that enables businesses to achieve major, lasting results by improving the current state through small but continuous steps. Grupas Gelişim's Kobetsu Kaizen program makes losses in production and business processes visible; it equips teams with data-driven problem solving, root cause analysis and the discipline of standardization. The program is built on a proven 10-step roadmap: topic selection, setting targets, forming the team, current state analysis, project plan, process analysis and countermeasures, implementing the solution, verification and calculation of the gain, standardization and deployment.
