Q1.The chart below tracks cell cycle time before, during and after a kaizen blitz. Nothing was documented at the end of the event.

What was missing?
- A.A cost benefit analysis proving the change was worth keeping
- B.A written standard for the improved method, plus training✓ Correct answer
- C.A second blitz scheduled to reinforce the first one
- D.A control chart plotting cycle time during the event week
Explanation
An improvement that is never written down exists only in the memory of the people who were in the room, and it fades as soon as they move, take leave or get busy. Standardizing the new method turns it into the way the job is done, and training makes it real for everyone on every shift. Scheduling another blitz would produce the same result and lose it the same way. A cost benefit analysis justifies the change; it does not hold it in place, and neither does a chart of what happened during the event week.
