Publisher's Summary

How to master continuous improvement and transform your business!

Are you interested in the Lean philosophy of productivity?

Do you want to learn how to apply consistent changes that improve your business?

Read on and find out how you can make your business successful by applying the Kaizen method!

Lean philosophy originates in the manufacturing process, but today it’s used in all types of businesses. It emphasizes the reduction of wasteful practices and value-increase. Such an approach to business ensures success in the long run.

Kaizen is one of the methods used to apply the Lean business approach. It’s a Japanese word that means “good change”. In terms of business development, it’s come to mean continuous improvement, big and small. Kaizen ensures that a problem is identified right away. The team then applies its skills to resolve the problem and move on with work, knowing that they’re on the right track.   

In this audiobook, you will learn:

  • Origins of the Kaizen method
  • Ways to implement Kaizen in your business
  • Benefits and value that Kaizen brings
  • How to streamline production
  • Strategies to develop the can-do mentality
  • How to strategize with a clear goal in mind
  • And so much more...  

Even if you’re not using the Lean methodology, learning about the principles of Kaizen will be beneficial. The concept of continuous improvement can relate both to business and life. If you change the broken light bulb today rather than tomorrow, you are practicing Kaizen. You are ensuring that the light will be on, and thus all other processes in the house can go on. By recognizing such issues in your business and fixing them, you will maximize your productivity!
