2. A work group* Primary Visual Display (PVD).
3. A Kaizen Action Sheet (KAS) improvement system.
4. A KCG 20 Keys assessment and improvement plan.
5. Detailed micro-process metrics tracking on a daily and weekly basis.
* An intact work group (of no more than nine people) works in close proximity for most of the time and has a process or functional connection that tends to pull its members together.

Kaizen Action SheetsKaizen Action Sheets
• As operational problems are identified and performance awareness/interest increases, employee involvement must become more structured
• Kaizen Action Sheets (KAS) provide a system to capture, submit and manage improvement ideas so that performance improvements can be made
