Kaizen refers to continuous improvement of processes and people. The philosophy aims to improve all aspects of an organization over time. There are two elements that define Kaizen - improvement/change for the better, and an ongoing/continuous approach. A Kaizen event involves selecting an area for improvement, planning and implementing changes, and following up. The goals are to eliminate waste like overproduction, waiting, defects and motion. Benefits include reduced waste, improved quality and space utilization, and higher employee morale. Common pitfalls can include resistance to change and lack of clear procedures.
