Kaufman Global today announced the release of its latest white paper titled, “Special Considerations for Rapid Improvement in Office Kaizen.” This new document details the significance of Rapid Improvement Events (RIEs) in accelerating results within office environments.

A RIE can be quickly defined as a highly structured, coached and intense attack on waste within a process or work area by a small cross-functional team of employees. Considered a fundamental approach that must be part of any successful change initiative, Kaufman Global’s white paper explains how special considerations must be made when applying RIEs in functional areas, specifically with regard to the following business process opportunities:

  • Scope
  • Sponsorship
  • Resource Allocation
  • Measurement and Metrics
  • Disciplined Follow-up

Successful transition from factory to office is essential for an enterprise-wide transformation; however, it is not a one-for-one translation.Recognizing and accounting for the differences is key for achieving significant, reliable and sustainable results.
