Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kaizen method?

Kaizen (Japanese for "improvement") is a philosophy of continuous improvement through small, ongoing changes. It originated at Toyota and is foundational to Lean manufacturing. The Kaizen method emphasizes that small improvements made consistently compound into transformational results over time.

What is a Kaizen event?

A Kaizen event (also called a Kaizen blitz) is a focused, short-duration improvement workshop - typically 3-5 days - where a cross-functional team works intensively to improve a specific process. Kaizen events combine analysis, idea generation, implementation and standardization in one concentrated effort.

What are the principles of Kaizen?

Core Kaizen principles include continuous improvement (small changes daily), respect for people (engaging frontline workers), going to the gemba (where the work actually happens), data-driven decisions, eliminating waste and standardizing what works. Kaizen is both a method and a culture.

How do you run a Kaizen event?

Pick a focused improvement target. Assemble a cross-functional team. Map the current state. Identify root causes and waste. Brainstorm improvements. Test changes quickly. Standardize what works through SOPs. Train the team and monitor sustainment. Document learnings to share with other teams.

What is the difference between Kaizen and Six Sigma?

Kaizen focuses on continuous, incremental improvement through frequent small changes. Six Sigma focuses on reducing variation through structured DMAIC projects. Kaizen is faster and more cultural; Six Sigma is more analytical. Many organizations use both - Kaizen for daily improvement and Six Sigma for complex problems.
