The format for kaizen can be individual, suggestion system, small group, or large group.
The cycle of kaizen activity can be defined as: Standardize an operation Measure the standardized operation (find cycle time and amount of in-process inventory) Gauge measurements against requirements Innovate to meet requirements and increase productivity Standardize the new, improved operations Continue cycle ad infinitum
