steps:
|
|
- headline: Define the standard
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The team reviews the current standard work — what the process is
|
|
supposed to be — so everyone shares the baseline.
|
|
- headline: Find the gap
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each member names one place where the actual work differs from the
|
|
standard, focusing on the work, not the worker.
|
|
- headline: Ask five whys
|
|
description: >-
|
|
For one chosen gap, the group asks "why?" repeatedly until they reach
|
|
a root cause, not just a symptom.
|
|
- headline: Propose a small change
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The team proposes the smallest possible change that addresses the root
|
|
cause, with an owner and a trial period.
|
|
- headline: Update the standard
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After the trial, the team decides whether to adopt the change and
|
|
updates the written standard work.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A specific, tested improvement is adopted and the standard work is updated;
|
|
the team builds a habit of continuous small improvements.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Resist big redesigns. Kaizen favours many small changes over grand
|
|
overhauls. Keep the five whys honest — stop at the first answer the team
|
|
can act on. |
