Acerca de
The Kaizen Event mind map template provides a structured framework for continuous improvement, organizing the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology across two sheets. Designed for Lean and Six Sigma practitioners, this template covers all five phases—Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control—with dedicated branches for each. It serves as both a Kaizen event template and a Kaizen cheat sheet for process improvement teams. The first sheet follows the traditional DMAIC order, while the second sheet rearranges the phases starting with Measure, offering flexibility for different facilitation styles. Each branch is a blank node ready for team input, making it ideal for kaizen blitz events or sustained improvement projects.
