The Kaizen Freeway: A High Speed Route to Process Improvement is a hands-on, how-to guide for business leaders, department heads, and improvement professionals to quickly raise the quality and efficiency of his or her company's performance. Ross A. Petermann distills his thirty-five years of experience at DuPont into this lean, but meaty book that will have the reader sliding into the driver's seat and planning a kaizen within hours.
Petermann includes everything that works-and nothing that doesn't. The guide starts its engines with the basic premise of what a kaizen is-a focused, short-term, team-based improvement effort that can last anywhere from one hour to several days. Then Petermann hits the gas and drives straight into practical application, providing a framework for planning a kaizen, discussing the wide range of problems a kaizen can solve, and the detailed, step-by-step process of executing a successful kaizen event.
In addition to his advice and instruction, Petermann includes a process improvement tool kit to make sure any kaizen leader is prepared to drive the group down the fast lane of the high-speed route to long-lasting, better business performance.
