For decades, apparel factories have invested in Kaizen, yet most initiatives remain “activity-rich but impact-poor”—delivering ideas without measurable gains in profitability, agility, or system efficiency. The root cause: Kaizen events are isolated, tactical, and disconnected from strategic transformation.
This one-day workshop introduces Sprint Boxed-Improvement (SBI), a revolutionary framework that transforms Kaizen into time-boxed, KPI-driven sprints directly aligned with business outcomes. Each Sprint mobilizes cross-functional teams to resolve a specific constraint—through targeted interventions like Kaizen events, SOP redesigns, skill upgrades, or layout changes—while contributing to a broader transformation roadmap.
What Participants Gain:
- Why traditional Kaizen fails in apparel and how to break the cycle.
- Tools to design and govern SBI cycles with clear scope, metrics, and outcomes.
- Methods to link improvements with cost drivers, profit levers, and strategic goals.
- Hands-on practice using the SBI Design Canvas, Scoreboards, and Accountability Dashboards.
- Confidence to launch their first SBI within 7 days
The SBI Advantage:
- Shifts improvement from isolated activities to systemic transformation.
- Builds momentum through visible, measurable wins.
- Tackles “improvement fatigue” by embedding continuous progress into factory culture.
- Drives sustainable impact—reducing WIP, cutting delays, balancing flow, and boosting profitability.
Key Outcome:
Participants leave ready to redefine continuous improvement in apparel manufacturing—turning Kaizen from stalled routines into a strategic, high-impact engine for competitiveness and agility.
