The term kaizen (改善, Japanese for "improvement") is a Japanese word adopted into English referring to a philosophy or practices focusing on continuous improvement in manufacturing activities, business activities in general, and even life in general, depending on interpretation and usage. When used in the business sense and applied to the workplace, kaizen typically refers to activities that continually improve all functions of a business, from manufacturing to management and from the CEO to the assembly line workers.[1] By improving standardized activities and processes, kaizen aims to eliminate waste (see lean manufacturing). Kaizen was first implemented in several Japanese businesses during the country's recovery after World War II and has since spread to businesses throughout the world

  • Le mot kaizen (改善, kaizen?) est la fusion des deux mots japonais kai et zen qui signifient respectivement « changement » et « bon ». La traduction française courante est « amélioration continue ». En fait, par extension, on veut signifier « analyser pour rendre meilleur ».

  • To be even more correct, Kaizen is from Chinese, "Gaishan" and it also means, "improvement" or literally, "Good change," using the same characters.
