Kaizen

Das japanische Wort Kaizen steht für „kontinuierlicher Verbesserungsprozess“. Wichtiges Prinzip bei ganzheitlichen Produktionssystemen (GPS).
Den Beschäftigten soll in Fleisch und Blut übergehen, ständig daran zu denken, Abläufe zu verbessern. Verbesserungen werden zu verbindlichen Standards für künftige Arbeitsprozesse.
