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.
This allows the Pluto to dip inside of the orbit of Neptune for 20 of the 248 years it takes the dwarf planet to orbit the sun. Pluto last entered Neptune's orbit on Feb. 7, 1979, where it remained until Feb. 11, 1999.
