Kaizen Helper turns everyday shop-floor problems into root-cause fixes your team actually sustains. Speak a problem out loud, and Kaizen Helper writes it up, fills in the details, and puts it on the board before you walk away.
Every plant, warehouse, and kitchen has the same three leaks, and none of them show up on a P&L line.
Issues get patched, not solved. Without a root cause and a counter measure on record, the fix walks out with the shift that made it, and the problem clocks back in.
Reporting friction is the silent killer of improvement. If logging an issue means finding a computer and filling out a form, your team stops telling you what's wrong.
The kaizen event was great, six months ago. Without scorecards, audits, and meeting cadence, gains quietly erode until you're solving last year's problems again.
Kaizen Helper wires every tool into a single problem-solving rhythm, so nothing gets lost between "someone noticed" and "it never happened again."
Capture problems the moment they happen: zero friction, zero training.
No ticket-clearing allowed: every closure is a real, documented fix.
Lock improvements in with cadence, audits, and visible metrics.
The best problem-reporting system is the one people actually use. With Kaizen Helper, anyone taps the mic and describes what they see, and Kaizen Helper transcribes it, rewrites it as a clean problem statement, and fills in the details for review.
Put it on a TV and let it run. Every problem lands in one of four color zones (urgent, long-standing, closed today, new today), updated in real time the second anything changes. Nothing festers invisibly.
Most tools let you close a ticket with a click, and that's exactly why problems come back. Kaizen Helper refuses to close an AC (Issue) until the fix is real and on the record.
Stop juggling spreadsheets, whiteboards, and binders. Each tool feeds the same problem-solving loop, on the same data, for the same team.
Turn the 8 lean wastes into hard annual dollar figures with 15 guided calculator cards, then attack the top three first.
Audit how consistently you actually live the Toyota Way, principle by principle, on a phone, while walking the floor.
A traffic-light KPI grid with a named owner on every number, from daily to annual cadence, with goals that know which direction is good.
LPA audits, 5S walks, and equipment checks with custom rating scales, where a failed item automatically becomes a tracked problem.
Timeboxed agendas with traffic-light timers synced to every participant's screen, plus minutes that write themselves.
Every counter measure becomes an assigned, due-dated action, linked to its AC (Issue) or meeting so nothing silently disappears.
Not a chatbot bolted on the side. Kaizen Helper is woven into the exact moments where friction kills improvement.
Up to two minutes of voice becomes a structured, assigned AC (Issue): transcription plus field extraction, with every value it fills flagged for human review.
Type a rough note and Kaizen Helper asks up to five sharp follow-up questions, then drafts a factual problem statement. It never invents numbers, names, or dates.
Every AC (Issue) gets an auto-generated 18-word summary for boards, wallboards, and reports, legible at a glance from across the floor.
Prompted as a lean six sigma consultant, Kaizen Helper proposes the top five in-house-feasible counter measures from your problem statement and root cause.
Speak your checklist findings hands-free, and the transcript lands in the item's comment, photos attach from the camera, and failures escalate automatically.
Every Kaizen Helper call is cost-tracked against a monthly budget, keys stay server-side, and Kaizen Helper never blocks a save; if it's unavailable, your team keeps working.
