This document appears to be a template for documenting a Lean event from start to finish. It includes sections for defining the problem and goals, analyzing the baseline process, planning and executing improvements during the event, and controlling the new process afterwards. The template provides guidance on including details such as metrics, stakeholders, process maps, plans for transitioning and training, and tools for ensuring the benefits are sustained long-term.

1. <Lean Event Name> <Conducted Date(s)> <Evaluated Date(s)> BB: (Name) Champion: (Name)

2. Defining the Kaizen Focus and Value

5. Describe the Baseline Condition Include Pareto Charts, trend charts, histograms etc to characterize existing process. The purpose of the chart(s) on this page is to explore what is happening with the Y or Y’s that will make this an appropriate project to execute. Plot your primary metric here. Good!
