Kaizen is a proven tool that reduces and removes constraints in administrative and production environments. Practicing Kaizen teaches every team member that daily improvement is a daily expectation. Kaizen Events bring together cross-functional process improvement teams for fast change.

Kaizen applied to the big picture is known as Flow Kaizen. When front line team members dig into the removal of waste in their own work the activity is called Process Kaizen.

FLOW KAIZEN focuses on constraints to the flow of information, materials, and monies within the business. It is often overlooked, but affords excellent opportunities to remove cost from the operation. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a valuable tool used to gather real time data too highlight restrictions and bottlenecks in the process.

PROCESS KAIZEN is the improvement at the process level generally focused on the removal of Muda from daily activities. Muda is a Japanese word for waste that may come in handy. It is often used by companies who want team members to think of waste as more than just scrap or non conforming product.
