Then why is “Kaizen” so famous0March 10, 2008 at 1:08 pm #169462Lean mfg is both a “journey” and “the destination” where as kaizen it a tool for that “journey”.
An analogy might be:“I want to go on holiday and travel to the ultimate tourist destination.” “I want to establish my company as a lean manufacturer.”
“I want to fly first class on my trip.” “I want to use a series of kaizen’s to lean out my plant inorder to become lean.”
Does that help???0 -
