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.
1 Pluto is probably even smaller than Mercury, with a diameter of around 1400 miles (about 2240 kilometres). 2  It takes Pluto 248Â½ years to complete its orbit round the Sun. 3  The Earth takes one year. 4  Like all the planets Pluto turns on its own axis as it orbits round the sun.
