QUICK 'N EASY KAIZEN

The Quick 'n Easy Kaizen (QnEK) program is a system that engages employees in conscious improvement. QnEK recognizes that employees are autonomous within some aspects of their work. The system focuses on small changes that are generally within the individual's area of responsibility and authority, therefore they don't need permission or approvals. 

Repeatedly engaging employees to take ownership and think through the situation before the improvement, after the improvement, and the effect of the improvement, builds the foundational problem-solving mindset, attitude, and skills in the organization.
