Kaizen means a process of change with gradualised practice over time to effect improvement. In Kaizen, improvement is realised and maintained with a certain degree of stability without slackening back to the previous condition. Kaizen provides the conditions to make gradualised progression over time throughout the organization at several levels.

First, there is Restoration Kaizen that has to be made to bring the condition back to normal. The other Kaizen include Core Task Kaizen, Maintenance Kaizen, Improvement Kaizen and Innovation Kaizen.

Kaizen is not the preorgative of management. Conversely, it is the joint effort of both management and workforce that brings about the growth of Kaizen activities. Kaizen activities when permeated throughout the whole organization, will have a significant impact on the bottom-line of the business.

With Kaizen activities, companies can be assured of a high degree of sustaining power to pep up the motivation of the workforce into creative spirit for driving change. No company in the world can operate in an environment devoid of progressive change. Change cannot operate without a process to manage change. In Kaizen, the Wheel-of-Change is employed to drive the Kaizen process at all levels. Once this is in place, the speed-of-change must be sustained and moved upward to a level to enable the organization to cope with external entropic influences that are always acting to break down the organization to its non-competitive level.
