Recommendation

Kaizen experts Alberto Bastos and Charlie Sharman contribute to the literature on Kaizen by focusing on the gap between strategic planning and strategy execution. Using the fictional example of a manufacturing company, the authors walk through a three-year Kaizen implementation. Bastos and Sharman thoroughly explain principles such as the theory of minimum inventory, countermeasure culture and Voice of the Customer. Though rife with unfamiliar terms and oddly named practices, the book offers a broad and detailed overview of the Kaizen approach.

Take-Aways

  • Using the Kaizen and Strat to Action methodologies in concert can turn strategic planning into action.
  • Kaizen empowers those responsible for goals – but might prove daunting for those new to it.
  • Employ enterprise value stream analysis to identify opportunities to add value and cut waste.
