This document discusses the concept of Kaizen, a Japanese term meaning continuous improvement. It describes Kaizen as modifying or changing through thinking to make good. The document outlines the seven types of waste known as the 7 Mudas - defects, overproduction, waiting, non-used talent, transport, inventories, and excess processing. It also discusses the three M's of Mura, Muri, and Muda referring to unevenness, overburden, and waste. The document proposes that by reducing Muda, Muri can be reduced, ultimately reducing Mura. It provides a template for documenting a Kaizen idea, measuring its benefits and implementing the proposed improvement.
