Kaizen Approach

Kaizen means that everyone is involved in making improvements. Kaizen (pronounced

ky‐zen) is based on the Japanese management concept for incremental change and

improvement.

The idea of continuous improvement suggests that managers, teams, and individuals learnfrom both their accomplishments and their mistakes. It is a long-term approach to work that systematically seeks to achieve small, incremental changes in processes in order to improve efficiency andquality.

While the majority of changes may be small, the greatest impact may be improvements or changes that are led by senior management as transformational projects, or by cross- functional teams as Kaizen events.
