Kaizen Management (Online)

The Kaizen motto is: “today better than yesterday, tomorrow better than today…” and adopting the true Kaizen approach together with an effective TQC is clearly a wise policy, one that will ensure the continued survival and prosperity of the business enterprise.

 

Kaizen, or continuous improvement, is an unending spiral of activity, building small improvements one on another for a big effect. It is primarily a process rather than a result, but it is driven by basic ideals. These ideals are inherent in the very definition of the problem to be solved.
