Kaizen

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
Kaizen is the wayto achieve 100% Quality

George Kaiser

An in-the-closet gay guy who has no friends. Usually idenitifiable by a horrid odor and ridiculously unattractive features. Also tends to cock-block a lot. Basically everything that can be bad about a human is bad about him.
You're being a real George Kaiser right now.

Keizer

Someone who seems super intimidating at first, but once you've gotten to know them better, they're really extraordinary. He's very gentle and kind and is open to listening to you whenever you need someone. He's the shoulder to cry on and will give you hugs whenever. This name can also be associated with someone who is a fuckboy. Never mistake the two or you'll be heartbroken.
