Abstract

Kaizen is an important process improvement tool which is used in several situations with equal efficiency. It is versatile and is used across different industries and at different functions within an organisation. Kaizen as a tool is successfully used to improve the processes and enhance the outcomes. The benefits of kaizen implementation are seen in the form of improved effectiveness and efficiency owing to a highly organised workplace, higher visibility across the organisation and improved safety and enhanced employee morale, among others. The present case study focuses on the implementation of the kaizen in a scientific equipment manufacturing industry to help them perform better. The paper, which is a systematic analysis of literary resources leading to the implementation of kaizen is immensely useful for people in the industry and academia alike.
