Plan to spend a substantial amount of time on this section. It’s important that each Kaizen generate results, and that these results be quantified as much as possible.

In this example we took the metrics slide shown at the beginning of the presentation, and added columns for Post-Kaizen results and Change. Note that the results may not have been accomplished yet, as some benefits take time to be realized. Inventory reduction, for example, will need some time to “bleed off”.

Note that as much as possible quantify the results in dollars. In this example we estimated the cost of inventory errors and late deliveries in order to convert those measurements to dollars.
