Leading kaizen events is often an integral part of the function of a CI engineer. As with structured problem-solving methodologies, each company will likely have a specific and preferred method for completing kaizen events. For this reason, it is less important that the candidate shows a specific understanding of an exact method, but rather that they highlight their skills in facilitating teams and driving improvement. Kaizen events are usually completed with the core-team over a period of hours or days; however, the event's success is usually predicated by the level of preparation and follow-up by the facilitator. This is the time for the candidate to demonstrate their effectiveness as a team facilitator rather than an individual contributor. This would be a good time to include specific data points that show success as a facilitator.
