Kaizen

改善Japanese

Continuous improvement through many small, incremental changes made by everyone, every day.

Kaizen favours small steps over big projects. Each improvement is tested, standardised and becomes the new baseline for the next one.

Examples

  1. 01An operator suggests moving a torque wrench 40 cm closer to the station, saving 6 seconds per cycle.
  2. 02A logistics team reduces picking errors by adding colour-coded labels to shelf locations.
  3. 03An office team cuts invoice approval time from 5 days to 2 days by removing one signature step.
