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

Get the sutter kain mug.Kaizer's Orchestra is a Norweigan rock band. The sextet is known for their unique sound and amazing live shows, which often involve playing on empty oil drums. Their lyrics deviate from the usual themes of love and relationships, and tend to lean more toward themes of revenge, russian roulette, and fighting. Many of their songs are also about certain characters, who tend to show up in several songs on an album. One of the most common symbols of the band is a gas mask, an article which is always worn by one member of the band.
