Masaaki Imai developed Kaizen, which involves making small, incremental changes to continuously improve productivity and minimize waste. Kaizen focuses on continuous improvement through the elimination of waste. It considers the entire process being improved and evaluates how to perform the job most effectively without blaming individuals. Implementing Kaizen can reduce various wastes, improve space utilization, quality, and employee morale while increasing job satisfaction. Potential pitfalls include resistance to change, lack of clear implementation procedures, and an overwhelming number of suggestions causing confusion and wasted time.
