Improvement (Kaizen) Suggestion Form
Frontline improvement ideas with the waste named, the fix sketched, and credit kept.
5 questions · 1 page · about 4 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
The people running the process see its waste daily; suggestion schemes die only from slow answers and stolen credit. This kaizen form structures the idea – the waste or pain observed, the proposed change, expected benefit, and what help implementation needs – with the submitter's name kept attached from suggestion to recognition.
Commit to a response SLA (a week, even if the answer is not-yet) and publish implemented ideas with credit; volume follows visible respect.
