Certificate in Kaizen
Kaizen is a Japanese business philosophy on continuous improvement.
Kaizen philosophy is based on the idea that small, incremental changes
results in significant improvements over time. Kaizen involves all
employees, from the CEO to the frontline workers, in the process of
identifying and implementing improvements in every aspect of the
organization. It is not just about making changes for the sake of change
but rather about systematically identifying areas for improvement,
implementing solutions, and then continuously evaluating and refining
those improvements. Kaizen is often associated with lean manufacturing
and has been widely adopted by companies around the world as a way to
enhance quality, efficiency, and overall organizational performance.
