by Turner Palmer, from the Community

10+

Use this Kaizen template to drive continuous improvement on the shop floor or in service operations. Capture site details, categorize primary and secondary findings (e.g., down too low, out of reach, cluttered), describe problems and proposed solutions, and attach before and after photos. Include simple calculations to estimate hours available, steps and minutes per day, and cost impacts, helping quantify savings from changes. Ideal for lean, 5S, and ergonomics initiatives.

Kaizen Template for 5S, Ergonomics and Motion
This Kaizen template helps teams document continuous improvement activities across 5S, ergonomics, and motion. Record primary and secondary findings, describe problems and solutions, and attach before and after photos to show results. Sections cover common issues such as items being too low or high, out of reach, bending and twisting, overload, clutter, disorganization, dirt, and lapses in standards. Ideal for manufacturing and operations teams practicing lean and 5S, this template supports structured observations, corrective actions, and measurable improvements.

Kaizen Report Template
This Kaizen report template helps teams plan and document continuous improvement. Define the project, category, and process; describe the current situation; analyze root causes using the 8 wastes; and attach photo evidence before and after changes. Select improvement measures such as 5S, 6S, Gemba Walks, inspections, audits, awareness, communication, and training. Record results and benefits, add comments, and complete the report with digital signatures to ensure accountability. Ideal for lean manufacturing and operational excellence initiatives focused on quality, productivity, safety, and efficiency.

30-Day Kaizen Assessment
This template provides a structured framework for conducting 30-day Kaizen assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented process improvements. It includes essential questions covering worker compliance, training verification, performance measurement, management support, and unintended consequences. The assessment helps organizations track the success of their Kaizen initiatives by examining both operational metrics and human factors, such as worker satisfaction and resistance to change. The template ensures a thorough review of the Control Plan implementation and helps identify any gaps or areas requiring additional attention. It serves as a vital tool for continuous improvement efforts and maintaining sustainable process changes.
