Abstract

This paper provides the basic understanding of Kaizen philosophy. In this paper throws light on purpose of using Kaizen and the processes used and implemented in it are discussed. Research work done by many other researchers is studied and mentioned for the better understanding of Kaizen philosophy. This paper also discuss about the companies who adopt Kaizen for improve their productivity and reputation in market as well, these companies set trends to get success by adopting small but effective steps in continuous manner. There are many advantages of using kaizen some of them are discussed in this paper.
