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 travels on a highly elliptical orbit around the Sun. At its closest point, known as âperihelionâ, Pluto is only 4.4 billion kilometers out. Thatâs nearly 30 AU, or 30 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.he other problem is that getting to Pluto faster means that itâs harder to do any kind of science once you reach the dwarf planet. New Horizons made the fastest journey to Pluto, but itâs also going to fly past the planet at 50,000 km/h. Thatâs less time to take high resolution images.
