Kaizen:
The way of continuous improvement
Translation of Kaizen:
Kaizen is a Japanese term that means gradual and continuous improvement.
‘Kai' means ‘continuous’.
‘Zen' means improvement.
The same Japanese word Kaizen that is pronounced as 'Gai San' in Chinese means:
‘Gai’ means ‘the action to correct’;
‘San’ means ‘good’ or ‘benefit’.
History of Kaizen
1950’s – Toyota implements quality circles, which results in development of unique Toyota Production System.
In doing so, quality was inspected at every stage of production rather than checking the completed product for defects
Meaning of Kaizen
Kaizen is based upon team problem solving approach to identify problems which are evaluated, ideas generated and solutions implemented.
Kaizen philosophy underlines that waste can be turned into profit if it is eliminated and employees are encouraged to participate in improvement process.
Kaizen means improvements without spending too much money.
Kaizen means involving everyone from top managers to workers.
Kaizen means using much common sense.

‘Gemba’ means real place where valu-adding activities to satisfy customer needs are carried out.
