The KAIZEN Lean and Green™ Assessment/Evaluation Program

KAIZEN Lean & Environmental Implementation Plan – 2 to 5 days

KAIZEN Institute Lean Advisors Inc. has recognized the positive impact of expanding KILA to include the elimination of waste that affects the environment.  To this end, KAIZEN Institute Lean Advisors Inc. has developed their KAIZEN Lean and Green™ Program.  Energy and environmental waste now becomes the tenth waste of KAIZEN Lean.

The outcomes of eliminating the ENVIRONMENT wastes are -

• Reduce costs
• Improve process flow and lead times
• Lower regulatory non-compliance risk
• Meet customers expectations
• Improve environmental quality
• Improve employee morale and commitment

Typical Agenda

Primary Assessment - 1 day

Enterprise Value Stream mapping EVSM™ and Energy Value Stream Mapping EnVSM™


Days 1-3: Advisors complete Current State maps, EVSM and EnVSM. Then analyze and identify all value and non-value.


Days 3-5: Environmental expert, together with the client Team works on the Environmental Future State and collects technical data associated with energy consumption and pollution prevention.




Goal – to analyze and develop detailed Plans to transform the Value Stream using KAIZEN Lean and to additionally develop an energy Implementation Plan that coincides with the KAIZEN Lean transformation both culturally and technically.  Time permitting, we will also complete an analysis of the overall facility energy waste. The ultimate result is the client has an executable Plan and has a predetermined, measurable financial savings target, through energy savings and process improvement of the selected Value Stream(s) as they move toward the Future State.
