Kaizen, terme japonais pour l'amélioration continue, est devenu un concept bien connu. Cependant, les pratiques dans les entreprises européennes ne correspondent souvent pas aux principes fondamentaux de ce système, que ce soit par un fonctionnement formel ou une orientation exclusive vers les processus de production. Dans ce livre, vous découvrirez pourquoi et comment améliorer (croyez-vous que vos processus comportent 99,9 % de gaspillage ?), les différentes approches pour améliorer les processus, et comment organiser l'amélioration au sein de l'entreprise. La publication présente des exemples concrets d'amélioration, provenant de l'industrie du bois, de fonderies, ainsi que de domaines non industriels. Le texte est enrichi d'un grand nombre d'illustrations, de tableaux et de graphiques, visant à rendre toutes les méthodes utilisées plus accessibles.

A better way is to apply the concept of kaizen, which mean making simple, common-sense improvements and refinements to critical business processes.The greater productivity, quality, and profits achieved with minimal cost, time, and effort invested. In this book, you discover how to maximize the results of kaizen by applying it to gemba--business processes involved in the manufacture of products and the rendering of services--the areas of your business where, as the author puts it, the "real action" takes place.

Fully explains to non-Japanese managers the ramifications and applications of the Kaizen philosophy of continually striving for improvement and repeatedly setting ever higher standards
