Kaizen is the focused application of lean tools to rapidly reduce “muda” (waste) to improve cost, quality, delivery, speed, flexibility and responsiveness to internal and external customer needs. Kaizen focuses on incremental change and is the continuous improvement vehicle utilized by the Toyota Production System Kaizen is a vehicle for driving quick hit value by implementing “do-now” solutions through employee involvement (process x acceptance = results) Kaizen assembles cross-functional teams in a focused, 3-5 day dedicated event to reduce waste and attain sustained results Definition The KAIZEN method is a Japanese concept.

Another waste is: People (untapped and/or misused resources) Project Selection Reduces Number of Projects and Provides Focus选择项目，减少项目数量，提高关注度 When to Kaizen When the scope and boundaries of a problem are clearly defined and understood When results are needed immediately – i.e., capacity/throughput constraints, changeover time reduction, acute
