Target Section
The Target section as the name indicates helps us set a target for the kaizen being initiated.
The target is made of two crucial parts, KPI’s and Savings. While setting a target, there two informations are attached with further details that allow us to quantify our targets in terms of states & finances!
Let us understand the section with a flowchart:
| The Target of a Kaizen |
KPI’s | Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measurable metrics used to evaluate how effectively an individual, team, or organization is achieving key objectives. |
Savings | Savings in a project represent the expected reductions in costs, efficiency improvements, quality enhancements, and potential revenue increases resulting from planned changes or optimizations. |
Both these sections have their own fields and options that take in information and allow us to set a target using a benchmark consisting of performance measurement and cost factor.
Let’s go ahead and learn how to set a Target inside a kaizen!

When a new section is added it appears under the previous section; in this case 5 Why Section.
Step 2
Expand the section by clicking anywhere in the section field, or on the arrow on the right side.
The arrow can also be used to collapse the section.
The Target section has two sub-sections, Basic Details & Savings. Both are expanded by default but you can use the arrow on the right-hand side of the headings to expand/collapse these sections.
Step 3
As we saw above, the Target section sets a target for the Kaizen using two parts; KPI’s & Savings.
Therefore, there are two steps to enter information in a Target Section and corresponding to the 2 Fields:

Congratulations! We have successfully learned about the Target Section inside Kaizen!
With this we have completed the Do Phase, and are almost halfway through the sections!
7 down, 10 more to go!
Let’s keep our pace and go to the next one!
