Kaizen is a Japanese concept meaning “continuous improvement,” where everyone in a company works together to make small, ongoing changes that improve products, services and processes.
For example, a plastics manufacturer uses kaizen principles to host monthly improvement workshops where line workers, engineers, and supervisors collaboratively identify and fix small inefficiencies — over one year, this results in a 15% reduction in production cycle time without any major capital investment.
