The following images are from the February 2004 3P Production-Prep Workshop.
| 3P - Production Prep Process is a copyrighted five day process from Japan that compliments Kaizen. The complete production flow for a service or group of services is mapped out in depth. Alternative process methods are tried and tested, ranked in several categories and modeled with lego type figures on a conference room table. The result is breakthrough Kaikaku level production methods with drastically improved efficiency, reduced cost and improved quality. |
