Toast Kaizen: An Introduction to Continuous Improvement & Lean Principles

This is THE Toast Kaizen video you've heard about. The #1 selling Lean training tool in the world is the Perfect introduction to Continuous Improvement. Winner of the 2006 Shingo Prize for Research.

"Prior to the improvement teams beginning their work, we referenced an instructional video called ‘Toast Kaizen,’ which is the Japanese word that means small change for the better! This video is the best I have seen to introduce (or re-introduce) basic continuous improvement and Lean principals and Kaizen. The goal is to remove things from our process that the customer does not want to pay for. We have learned that the team members doing the work are most equipped to recommend the best way to improve it!"  - Jerry Kenney, VP Operations, One Source Commercial Flooring, Plano TX

Narrated by and featuring Bruce Hamilton, Shingo Prize Recipient and GBMP President, this 27-minute video highlights the seven deadly wastes found in both administrative offices and in manufacturing processes. In this training tool, the process of making toast is used to represent the before condition and the target condition of a manufacturing or transaction-based process and helps your people to identify with the process of Kaizen(small and continuous improvements). Whether you are already on the Continuous Improvement journey or you are just beginning to realize the power of continuous improvement implementation, this video is an essential learning tool for your entire workforce.
