Premier Gathering for Lean Experts

About the KAIZEN™ Congress East Africa

On the 13th and 14th of August 2024, we will be hosting the 19th Annual KAIZEN™ Congress East Africa in association with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), which will showcase Practical applications of authentic KAIZEN™ methodologies by Worldwide Industry Stalwarts & Pioneers.

The objective is for participants to learn about and be Inspired by the possibility of Holistic organizational transformation in the realm of Business Excellence. The 2-day congress agenda will be power-packed with Keynote Sessions, Knowledge Sessions, Case Study Competition, and Benchmark Tours.

Who Should Attend

Most people currently believe that KAIZEN™ or Lean can only be implemented in the Manufacturing industry. This is where the KAIZEN™ Congress breaks the paradigm of individuals and organizations. KAIZEN™ is Change for better or continual improvement by elimination of wasteful activities to improve processes to increase ROI. This can be applied in all industries with the proper guidance and learning. The KAIZEN™ Congress is open to all sectors covering teams like top management, production, human resource, operations, customer service, operational excellence, supply chain, logistics, warehousing, and stores. 

Reasons To Attend
