    The document discusses the concept of Kaizen, which means continuous improvement. It was developed by Masaaki Imai in Japan and focuses on improving productivity and minimizing waste. Kaizen involves small, incremental changes made on a continual basis across all aspects of business including quality, human resources, processes, and management. Its key principles are treating human resources as valuable assets, slow but continuous improvement, and quantitatively evaluating changes. Benefits include reduced waste, improved quality and space utilization, and higher employee morale. Elements of Kaizen include 5S, which stands for sorting, sweeping, standardizing, simplifying, and sustaining improvements.
