Progressive Kaizen: - The Key to Gaining a Global Competitive Advantage (Paperback, New)

Designed to teach the reader how to fully exploit Kaizen events, this book explains the four distinct types of Kaizen and that each has its own particular purpose. The book points out why and how Kaizen should be used as a prominent strategy in implementing Lean. This includes developing a structured plan for Kaizen and giving strong consideration to the insertion of a "Waste Reduction Activity Process" (WRAP), which provides employee incentives for implemented improvements at an individual job level. It outlines how to conduct each type of Kaizen event, who to involve, and what the results should be.
