Abstract: The paper presents research into the effectiveness of kaizen suggestions at industrial enterprises. As a methodological basis, the study uses scientific works by both Russian and foreign experts in the improvement of production system performance, as well as theories of personnel motivation and leadership, concepts of lean manufacturing, rationalisation, and kaizen. The information basis of the research consists of statistics provided by domestic industrial enterprises to ensure validity of conclusions. The key findings include propositions and recommendations that can be applicable to industrial enterprises to improve the existing production systems and implement lean manufacturing. Evidence shows that kaizen suggestions at industrial enterprises reach high effectiveness within 3–4 years after the introduction of the lean manufacturing concept, and, being relatively low-cost, lead to a significant economic benefit through cost reduction.
