C · Project.
Designed Twice.
Profit specified first.

Every Strategic Kaizen project carries two targets from day one: an operational target on the production flow and a financial target written in the KAIZENshiro budget. This library opens the projects one by one — the targets, the team, the cost and what was delivered.

The usual reflex is fewer set-ups and bigger batches. Strategic Kaizen asks for the opposite — with the profit specified before the project begins.

A food plant with years of Lean and without the expected margin. More set-ups, shorter set-ups — and the profit written in the budget before the work began.
