Kaizen is an approach to total quality management which can be described as continuously improving by making small improvements, mainly in process, every time the process is seen not to be as good as it could be.
Kaizen stands for two japanese words "kai" (change) "zen" (good or for the better) so it's change for the better. The idea here is continual improvement.
Kaizen focus:
- elimination of the 6 types of waste
- the five-S framework
- standardization.
Kaizen works well in slow-growth economy whereas Six Sigma is better adaptive in a fast-growth economy. Kaizen tends to involve everybody and the pace of improvement is gradual and small.
Kaizen is used for continual or small incremental improvement over a long time span rather than a drastic breakthorugh or revolution

A guy who is very cute and lovable. He look so strong in the outside but very soft in the inside. He loves to eat. Many people admires him for his beautiful personality.
He is adorable. He is Kaizen.

"Kaizen means improvement. Moreover It means continuing improvement in personal life, home life, social life, and working life. When applied to the workplace Kaizen means continuing incremental improvement involving everyone--managers and workers alike."

an extremely unique girl. she is beautiful and mature. she is smart and kind. her mind is a puzzle which few people understand. natural born leader, continuously improving. great girlfriend material, will snuggle but pleasure you too. doesn't get angry easily and if she does, its a big deal. low-key freaky goody-two-shoes. leader of the group.

"Kaizen" means "continuous improvement". It comes from the Japanese words "Kai" meaning school and "Zen" meaning wisdom. This key to the Japanese way of thinking has translated into success for many businesses around the world.
