What is Kaizen?

Kaizen, a method of continuous improvement, was first introduced by the Japanese investigating lean production methods.

How to use Kaizen for Continuous Improvement

Above all, Kaizen strategy aims to involve all team members in an organization working together to address problems or improve processes. Furthermore, Kaizen focusses on significantly improving a company’s standard procedures, workflows and problem solving processes. As a result, the company will become more streamlined and efficient.

Consequently, using Kaizen as part of your visual management aims to eliminate waste, improve productivity and achieve sustained continuous improvement across an organisation. See more on Continuous Improvement boards.

How can I show Kaizen status?

So, track your progress and display real time updates with a choice of status indicators. Firstly, status indicator meters can show a numerical scale if you wish. Secondly, choose to use dry wipe pens to update your Kaizen board. Alternatively, add red green status sliders or colour coded magnetic labels.

What are the advantages of using Kaizen?

There are many advantages to using a Kaizen strategy in your workplace. For example, strengthening teamwork, improved leadership, greater efficiency, higher staff satisfaction and increased safety together with reducing waste.

Our Approach

We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.

Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.

We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
