Kaizen is a lean manufacturing tool used to help encourage continuous improvement
across the entire range of business processes.
Kaizen focuses on applying small, daily changes that result in major improvements over time.
The strength of Kaizen is that is requires all workers in the organisation to participate by making suggestions to improve the business.
One of the major obstacles to a successful Kaizen programme is the difficulty in keeping track of the suggestions raised.
Information such as who raised a suggestion, what action has been taken,
how long has the issue been open etc. can be difficult to track when the number of Kaizens becomes large.
The RobTec Kaizen Tracker is a solution to this problem. Based on a Microsoft SQL database backend with a
user friendly desktop front end, all Kaizens raised in the organisation can be tracked throughout their lifecycle.
