What is Kaizen?
A Kaizen is a Japanese word. The meaning of the Kaizen is “Continuous Improvement”. If we break the word Kaizen, the meaning will be as Kai means “Change” and Zen means “Better”. Kaizen is a system that includes every employee – from Top management to operator. Everyone in the organization is encouraged to come up with small improvements.
