Kaizen is an activity which leads to reduction of waste or improvement of quality. Usually Kaizen is initiated by company employees, because people who are involved into the process know it much better than anybody else.

From the Japanese words “kai-” which means “change” and “-zen” which means “good.” The popular meaning from Toyota is “continuous improvement” or “small incremental improvements” of all areas of a company, not just manufacturing.
Kaizen means all personnel is expected to stop their work when they encounter any abnormality and, along with their supervisor, suggest an improvement to resolve the abnormality.
