What Is Kaizen?
“What is kaizen?” is not a simple question to answer. Although you will find many different approaches to Kaizen, the best example is that used in the Toyota Production System where the process of constant improvement in all aspects of the company is a daily imperative. It applies to every part of the company and to every employee.
To be successful Kaizen must be a top down activity and without the lead of the CEO it is doomed to fail. It is not something that is taken out of the toolbox. Instead it is part of the philosophy of success and follows the simple idea imparted by Deming - PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT - PDCA
