Kaizen is a philosophy for making continuous improvements through small steps. By implementing standards and quick solutions, waste can be reduced.

Kaizen uses the PDCA method (Plan, Do, Check, Act) for continuous process improvement. Employees are encouraged to make small daily improvements to continuously enhance all processes. Initially, Kaizen introduces standards through structured workplace organization. Over time, Kaizen evolves into a management philosophy. Kaizen boards are used to transparently display the status of current initiatives to all employees.
