Zusammenfassung:What is Kaizen? Basically, Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that means continual, incremental improvement. KAI = Change and ZEN = Good or for the better. This report is an illustration of how Kaizen can be used to remove MUDA (waste) from processes, in this case the process of inventory management. The rational that drives the necessity for MUDA removal is discussed as a precursor to the discussion of the Kaizen event. These include the idea of a lean enterprise, design for six sigma manufacturability (DSSM) and demand flow.
