The Companies can make breakthrough improvements in existing processes through DMAIC, Kaizen can be effective which applied continuous improvement utilizing the rigor and discipline of DMAIC. Kaizen event and DMAIC together become elements of the larger quest for improvement. The purpose of this paper is to explore Kaizen events implementation under DMAIC mechanism.
