With the adoption of Kaizen programs, CCQs and the 7 quality tools you will be able to effectively: analyze the main problems and non-conformities, discover the most probable causes and propose solutions, test proposals and implement corrective and preventive actions and verify the effectiveness of actions implemented in your company, producing continuous improvement of the quality management system, learning, increase in productivity, cost reduction, among other benefits for your company.

- help companies to carry out their transformations, their improvement projects, with greater speed and efficiency.
How it works
Our methodology aims to develop employees and promote cultural change.

With the adoption of the projects you will be able to
- Diagnosis/Amplitude Kaizens
Diagnosis/Amplitude Kaizens are used to understand the current situation of the value flow map of your operation, identifying the needs and opportunities for improvement to design the desired future situation.
Normally, considering a value stream of medium complexity, for a family of products representative of your business, a kaizen of amplitude will be executed around 10 days. - Deep Kaizens
Depth Kaizens are used in result interventions and are applied in events of 3 to 5 days, normally consecutive, with the participation of a team of company employees for the implementation of an improvement project.
Different methods are applied, depending on the improvement objectives, coming from the Lean schools, Theory of Restrictions, TPM, Quality, among others. Examples of methods used are Process Redesign (Standardization, Flowchart), 5S, PDCA, Standardized Work, Layout Redesign, Quick Change (TRF), Kanban, Poka Yokes, Quality Tools (Histogram, Control Cards, Pareto Diagram , Cause-Effect Diagram, Check List, 5W2H Action Plan), among others.
