About This Template

The Kaizen Event Planning Form structures focused, time-boxed improvement workshops that deliver rapid results. Kaizen events, typically lasting 3-5 days, bring together cross-functional teams to analyze a specific problem area, develop solutions, and implement improvements immediately. This template guides teams through event planning, goal setting, baseline measurement, solution implementation, and results verification. By concentrating resources and decision-making authority, kaizen events achieve in days what might otherwise take months, while building organizational problem-solving capability and continuous improvement culture.
