Projects (Kaizens)

Projects are Kaizen/continuous improvement initiatives created to reduce a specific loss (and track potential/actual savings).

Create a new project

Go to Projects → Create New Project (or use Dashboard recommendations).

Step 1: Select Asset

• Pick the asset where you want to focus improvement.

Step 2: Loss Definition

• Select the Loss Type you are attacking.
• Select a Loss Name (for example, a specific downtime reason) when available.
• You may be able to toggle baseline between current quarter and last quarter.

Step 3: Project Details

• Name and describe the project.
• Choose a Pillar (if your organization uses pillars).

Step 4: Review

• Confirm the asset hierarchy, loss type/name, and estimated potential savings.
• Create the project.

Working through the project workflow

Your project pages guide you through common Kaizen problem-solving steps, such as defining the team, understanding the problem, root cause analysis, countermeasures, targets, and sustainment.

• Define Team — assign who is involved.
• Understand the Problem — describe the current condition and problem statement.
• 5 Whys / 5W1H — structured analysis and documentation.
• Countermeasures — plan and track actions.
• Set Targets — set expected savings/targets.
• Sustainment — ensure the fix holds.
