True continuous improvement occurs all the
time, everyday, by everybody. Too often, businesses perform
only continual improvement activities, those activities that
might help improve the quality system and operations, but
only periodically. Examples of continual improvement
activities might include responding to a customer complaint,
and internal audit finding, a Six Sigma Project, or a
monthly Kaizen Event.
This webinar will show you how to build a culture within
your organization that will promote continuous improvement
activities so that all employees are involved with the
improvement process every single day. It will also
demonstrate show the organization how to build greater

From Principle 13 of The Toyota Way, Nemawashi is defined as
"make decisions slowly by consensus, thoroughly considering
all options; implement rapidly. Oftentimes, in many
American companies, we tend to do the opposite - we spend
very little time planning, we do not involve all of the
people who will be affected by the decision, we rush to
implement our quick and sometimes rash decisions, and we pay
for it by spending a great deal of time correcting the
problems that come from a poor decision making process.
This webinar will show the attendees how to broadly consider
alternative solutions with a Set-Based Approach and how to
build consensus amongst the stakeholders to achieve solid
solutions. The result is a solution with fewer problems
that requires much less time to troubleshoot because of
thorough selection process and involvement of all
stakeholders.
Specific Learning Objectives
- How Nemawashi relates to A3
- How Nemawashi promotes Leadership
- Benchmarking to Generate Possible Solutions
- How the Early Years of Saturn Used Nemawashi
