| Criterion | ![]() Operations Kaizen Event | ![]() Operations Fault Tree Analysis |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For a tightly scoped process segment with noticeable waste, the method bundles shared energy for change. It suits situations that call for fast learning loops and visible adjustments. | For a critical top event with several possible triggers, the method logically models failure paths. It makes visible which combinations of conditions can lead to damage. |
Complexitydifferent | Medium | High |
Timedifferent | 0.5-5 Tage | 2-6 h |
