Simplified Kaizen Method

Rather than making large, sweeping changes, Kaizen focuses on making small, gradual improvements on a regular basis. These incremental changes can accumulate to significant improvements overtime.

• Being 1% better everyday will result in you being 37 times better than you were at the start of the year
• being 37.78 times better is a 3678% increase per year.

Kaizen emphasized the importance of involving all employees in the improvement process. Everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas and participating in identifying problems and solutions

• involving employees can give them a sense of ownership, encouraging better work. People tend to work better when they feel that their ideas have value
• this also leads to more solutions being present, instead of having one person not involved in the production of an item determine what’s wrong with it.

The philosophy is rooted in the idea that improvement is an ongoing process. There is always room for improvement, and the goal is to consistently seek ways to enhance processes and systems.

• its a fools game to believe that everything runs perfectly, and nothing needs to be changed.

Identifying and solving problems is a key part of Kaizen. The method encourages a systematic approach to problem solving and focuses on addressing the root, rather than just the symptoms.

Once a successful improvement is identified, it is standardized and incorporated into the regular process to ensure consistency and sustainability.

Kaizen often includes aspects of quality control and aims to improve the quality of products or services by refining the process.
