Five tiered boot camps by audience (executive induction, DBS Leaders, Lean Conversion, Fanatics, DBS Fundamentals course); the source material lists "results measured against target" as the fifth item, without assigning it any weight.
In detail
The DBS Boot Camp System is a set of five hands-on Boot Camps layered by audience, covering everyone from executives to frontline employees, designed to help every level master DBS tools and ways of thinking through learning by doing. It bridges the gap between "knowing" and "doing," turning knowledge into behavior through real Kaizen activities. Unlike ordinary courses, it emphasizes Gemba practice and teamwork, and its outputs are validated Kaizen results and participants who have internalized DBS behaviors.
Example in practice
When a company promotes lean production but employees only attend lectures without implementation, a kaizen week-style boot camp can be organized. For example, targeting a bottleneck line, a cross-functional team, guided by a boot camp facilitator, completes the entire process from current state analysis to solution implementation in five days. Afterward, the team not only solves specific problems but also masters tools like standard work, enabling autonomous improvements later.
