Continuous Process Improvement is a chapter of Total Quality Management or TQM. Process Definition: The process is the interaction of people, and material equipment to procedure outcome as a product, service, or input to another process. Process Improvement Process Improvement is the task of identifying, analyzing and improving upon existing business processes within an organization for optimization and to meet new standards of quality.

2. Process
Process is the interaction of people, material
equipment to procedure outcome as a product, service
or an input to another process.
Process must be effective, Efficient, under control and
adaptive.

4. Kaizen is an approach to creating continuous improvement based on the idea that small, ongoing
positive changes can reap significant improvements. Typically, it is based on cooperation and
commitment and stands in contrast to approaches that use radical or top-down changes to achieve
transformation. Kaizen is core to lean manufacturing and the Toyota Way. It was developed in the
manufacturing sector to lower defects, eliminate waste, boost productivity, encourage worker
purpose and accountability and promote innovation. Kaizen is a compound of two Japanese words
that together translate as "good change" or "improvement." However, Kaizen has come to mean
"continuous improvement" through its association with lean methodology and principles

5. Origin of Kaizen
The foundation of kaizen was laid in Japan after the second
world war. When the country was attempting to rebuild
infrastructure and rethink many system.
Several American experts on war place improved including
W. Edwards deming and Joseph Juran came to Japan to
lecture and tech.
Using information from these individuals regarding the TWI
programs the concept of kaizen began to be formed and It
took off in the 1950s

6. Kaizen Approach
The Kaizen approach is used in all industries. it is
referred to as learn management or agile
management which aims to improve a company’s
performance by involving all employees.
The approach, therefore, requires a corporate culture

even guidance to change.

7. Kaizen Approach
Policy of constantly introducing small increment
changes a business in order improves quality.
It assures that employee is the best people to identify
room for improvement as they practically deals with
operations.
Small improvements needs less capital investment.

8. Feature of Kaizen
It is a planned and controlled change to achieve the next
step in continual improvement.
It Move you from the existing current state toward the defined feature state you have
established as your goal.
Team based Cross Functional.
Kaizen is a process of continuous incremental improvement.
True Kaizen are typically done as a focus ‘blitz’. A point in time them team effort
rather than a gradual Metamorphosis over time.

12. Implementation Concept
Implementation is the carrying out, execution, or practice of a
plan, a method, or any design, idea, model, specification,
standard or policy for doing something. As such,
implementation is the action that must follow any preliminary
thinking in order for something to actually happen.
The process of moving an idea from concept to reality. In
business, engineering and other fields, implementation refers to
the building process rather than the design process.

intellectual contribution.

19. What is Six Sigma?
Six sigma is a statistical and data driven process that works by
reviewing limit mistakes or defects. It emphasizes cycle time
improvements while reducing manufacturing defects to no more
than 3.4 occurrence per million units or events.
