“Kaizen” comes from the Japanese characters Kai , which means change – and Zen which means good. So Kaizen means change for the better. Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System, once commented that if work standards are a month old, they are out of date and the workers need to work harder at their real job – that is, constantly improving their processes.
