Kaizen Improvement Plan Paper: First Part - Midterm Submission
I. Introduction
The introduction serves as the background or history of the event leading to the proposal or the opportunity
for improvement.
This section should be brief and should state the intention of the paper. Write about what you are proposing.
This refers to the area of coverage of the paper. This is were you set your limits.
This is the part where you state the results the company will derive from implementing your proposals.
VI. Plan Viability (Will it work?) (Minimum: 200 words / Maximum: 600 words)
Focus this area on why the proposal will work. Quite simply, is it a viable proposal? You can draw on similar
past experience to show why this proposal will work out like previous ones.
If you do not have this “past experience” option, focus on what you think your audience wants to hear. For
example, if your manager really likes getting things done on time, then perhaps you might mention how your
proposal can speed up productivity. Think logically here.
These are the measurable improvements that the company can overall derive from the collective outcomes.
Benefits are the advantages that the different stakeholders can get.
Another simple part. What is needed to complete your proposal? Include tangible (financial, machines,
manpower, systems, etc) and intangible items such as time.
Do NOT restate your introduction here if you choose to mention the “history” of a certain proposal. However,
if you did not introduce your proposal with some historical background information, here is the part where you
can quickly restate each section above: Proposal, Plan of Action, all the “why’s” of the paper and so on.
How did you go about the organization of your research? Distribution of work, schedules, compilation,
brainstorming, observation, and the like. Document whatever you can document. Show charts, pictures, etc.
XI. Works Cited / Consulted
As in any essay or paper, cite your sources as you see appropriate to the format of your paper. If you actually
cite quote from a resource in your essay, then title this section “Works Cited”. If you do not cite anything word
for word, use “Works Consulted”.
