Guided Lesson:
7. We will review the concept of Kaizen/CPI Continuous process improvement

Independent Exercise:
Students will do the "Using Kaizen/CPI to improve making toast" activity

Kaizen involves everyone so your groups can be as large as you like BUT everyone needs to write down the 6 steps of CPI and then put YOUR ideas underneath them for the PERFECT process to make toast.

For example:1. Involve everyone.
Our team had 4 people.
2. Identify process activities.
You will list the steps for making toast.
3. Establish quality standards
What rules do you want to follow? Example: toast should be 89 degrees F (warm) when ready
4. Select Measurement Tools
For example: use a thermometer to measure how warm the toast is
5. Monitor performance and compare to standards.
Example: Do you measure the warmth of the toast once or more than once?
6. Look for ways to improve process quality?
Example: What ideas do you have? Instead of using a thermometer maybe create a "hot" plate that tells the temperature of the item on it.
