Kaizen is a Japanese term that means improvement. It is a way of thinking that believes that small, steady improvements made over time can add up to create big, positive changes. Kaizen is about looking at everything you do and figuring out how to do it better, faster, or more efficiently. It means doing small things such as fixing a broken piece of equipment or changing a process to make it easier. Kaizen is about finding new ways to do things and making improvements bit by bit so the work you do becomes easier and better over time.
