Quick and Easy
Kaizen, or Mini Kaizen, is
aimed at increasing
productivity, quality, and
worker satisfaction, all
from a very grassroots level.
Every company
employee
is encouraged to come up with
ideas – however small – that
could improve his/her particular
job activity, job environment or
any company process for that
matter.
The employees are also
encouraged to implement their
ideas as small changes can be
done by the worker him or
herself with very little
investment of time.
Quick and easy Kaizen helps
eliminate or reduce
wastes, promotes personal
growth of employees and the
company, provides guidance for
employees, and serves as a
barometer of
leadership.
Each kaizen may be small, but
the cumulative effect is
tremendous.

"Kaizen"
means quite
different things in
Japan and
the West.
In Japan, "kaizen" is a
journey
that focuses on people – it calls to start any improvement with
yourself and then improve everything around you.
In the West, "kaizen" is narrowly
focused on improving processes. |
