The Kaizen Solution (Paperback)

This is a practical, in-depth guide to the principles and practices of Kaizen, as it is understood and applied in Japan. This title shows how Western businesses are missing the true benefits of Kaizen by focusing on only a handful of tools rather than the underlying business philosophy. It explains the 'three pillars' of Kaizen, governing workplace organisation, staff engagement, and establishment of performance 'standards' for operational success. The author shows how Kaizen methodology can be used to underwrite long-term business growth through continuous process improvement, and to provide a system for the development of dynamic and innovative business solutions.
