Abstract: Abstract The Kaizen approach focuses attention on making ongoing improvements that involve everyone from the top executives to the workers on the floor. Its domain is that of small local improvements from ongoing efforts. Over time these small improvements produce changes every bit as dramatic as the “big project” approach. Kaizen does not concern itself with radically changing or designing fundamentally new systems. Rather, it works to optimize existing systems.
