What is Kaizen?

Word “kaizen”, where “kai” = change “zen” = good, simply means “change for better”. In
English kaizen is typically applied to measures for implementing continuous improvement.

Kaizen is an approach to activity organization based on common sense, self-discipline, order

and economy. Kaizen method is a strong contributor and fundamental part of a lean production
process model in lean manufacturing.

It is also applicable to lean software development and personal endeavours.

Kaizen refers to any activities that continually improve all business functions or processes
and involves every employee from the CEO to the assembly line workers. Labeling industrial
or business improvement techniques with the word “kaizen” is the common practice in Japan.
It also applies to processes, such as purchasing and logistics, that cross organizational
boundaries into the supply chain.

With Kaizen management practices, the main priority is given to the manufacturing process, as
the process of achieving results is not less than the final result. The reason for this focus is that
imperfect processes could potentially not lead to achieving the goal. A corresponding task of
kaizen is to become a part of market by improving processes within the organization instead of
pushing products into the market. One of most important tasks in Kaizen involves improving
the quality of work in an organization by achieving TQC (total quality control).

The kaizen method is now a base model for other quality improvement methods including:
suggestion systems, automation, small group activities, Kanban system, just-in-time, zero
defects, total productive maintenance, total quality control, etc.

My own opinion about The Kaizen.

I believe that this method of continuous improvement Kaizen is the best in
the world, putting it into practice is very important for organizations, with
this system you can get to order areas where they have a lot of disorder. I
recommend it.
