Kaizen
Business and Management
Kaizen is a Japanese business philosophy centered on continuous, incremental improvement of processes, products, and workplace culture, originally popularized through Toyota's production system. It emphasizes small, frequent changes driven by employee input at all levels rather than large, sporadic overhauls. Practitioners use it in manufacturing, software development, and management to steadily boost efficiency and quality over time.
