KAIZEN and Innovation/ Modernization :
KAIZEN signifies small improvements made inKAIZEN signifies small improvements made in
the status quo as a result of ongoing effortsthe status quo as a result of ongoing efforts
Innovation/Modernization involves a drastic
improvement in the status quo as a result of a
large investment in new technology, product
and/or equipment
While KAIZEN is a continuous process,
innovation is generally a one-shot phenomenon
KAIZEN does not necessarily require
sophisticated technique or call for a large
investment to implement it.

Why KAIZEN?
One of the famous Parkinson’s Laws is that “An
organization, once it has built its edifice, begins
its decline.”
Therefore, there must be a continuing effort for
improvement to even maintain the status.
Even when modernization / innovation makes a
radical improvement in standard of performance,
the new performance level will decline unless the
standards is constantly challenged and upgraded

KAIZEN
KAIZEN employs simple ideas and common
sense

doing something.”
