Is your business using Kaizen?

Is your business using Kaizen?

Kaizen – means ‘continuous improvement’ and leads to improvements in quality, productivity and customer satisfaction.

Kaizen is a Japanese concept of continuing improvement in all aspects of a persons home and work life. Usually work teams are established to pursue opportunities for continual (incremental) improvement.

Kaizen is a belief that the creativity of people is infinite. Kaizen is never being satisfied with things as they are. Kaizen means pursuing the ideal condition, even though it might never be achieved.

When employing Kaizen principles in your continuous improvement process and Lean Thinking, your activity does not need to have a specific format or run for a set period. Kaizen must make the work easier for people. The important factor is to make improvements based on specific principles and values. Usually many small ideas will be better than one big improvement.


Kaizen means zero tolerance for waste anywhere in the organisation. It is a belief that zero defects and zero inventory are attainable goals. It requires a willingness to solve problems at the source. Lean is a relentless pursuit of excellence that may be never achieved but is worth working towards.
