Step 1: Selecting an Area. You may have identified several high-priority kaizen opportunities through Value Stream Mapping. Select an area that has a relatively sound process and a high likelihood of success. It is important to succeed quickly in the first kaizen event to build momentum for the subsequent events.
You have to look at crewed missions to deep space differently than you look at robotic missions. The New Horizons spacecraft will take eight and a half or nine years to reach Pluto, and that is too long for human spaceflight.
Pluto nearly fills the frame in this image from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) aboard NASAâs New Horizons spacecraft, taken on July 13, 2015, when the spacecraft was 476,000 miles (768,000 kilometers) from the surface.
