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

Jun 1 Word of the Day
The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.
The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.
The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.
Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...
Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

"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.

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.
