KAIZEN
“A journey of a
thousand miles begins
with a single step.”
– Laozi
So too does any great endeavor, a truth
embraced by the Japanese philosophy
of Kaizen.
9. KAIZEN COSTING
Kaizen costing is applied to
products that are already in
production phase. Prior to kaizen
costing, when the products are
under development phase, target
costing is applied.
Finally, It is a process wherein a
product undergoes cost reduction
even when it is already on the
production stage.
The cost minimization can include strategies in effective waste management, continuous product
improvement or better deals in the acquisition of raw materials

45. CONCLUDING STATEMENT
The implementation of Kaizen
involves everyone - managers
and workers - and requires a
permanent commitment to the
Kaizen principles. It is not
meant to be implemented as
a process, but rather to be
lived at all levels of an
organization as a philosophy!
