— /01 — Project Cards
Each project has its own card and its own gateway.
The project card contains all the details: the client, the work location, the description, the budget, the team, and the current stage-gate. The overview shows where the project is in the PDCA cycle and which stage-gate is next.

Hard savings and cost avoidance—that's what the CFO believes in.
For each card, you maintain a business case—including estimated and actual savings, CAPEX investment, return on investment, and the type of savings. Kaizen Tracker links project data directly to dashboards for the controlling and finance departments.

— /03 — Approval
An approval workflow based on your rules.
SG4 and SG5 gateways typically require signatures from multiple roles—leader, controlling, and plant manager. Kaizen Tracker tracks the approval chain, records comments, and the project does not move forward while a signature is pending.

— /04 — Timer
The central timer will indicate a delay before it occurs.
Each project has a timer that tracks its total duration and uses color-coded indicators to show whether it is on schedule or behind schedule in terms of start, implementation, or completion. The leader can see at a glance which project needs attention.
