Book Reviews of The Kaizen Pocket Handbook
Book Review: Brief and to the Point
Summary: 5 Stars
Kaizen is a Japanese word that means improvement. The Kaizen concept is on continuous improvement with a focus on the goals of quality, cost and schedule that ultimately drive company profitability. "The Kaizen Pocket Handbook" is a fantastic book for those that wish to have a quick guide for Kaizen and Kaizen Events.
Japanese companies distinguish between Kaizen (continuous change/improvement) and innovation (radical change). The Kaizen concept focuses on the elimination of waste and inefficiency. The kaizen five-S framework for good housekeeping is tidiness; orderliness; cleanliness; standardised clean-up and discipline.
Kaizen is a people oriented, relatively easy to implement and require long-term discipline. The concept fits well with incremental change situations that require long-term change of organisational culture.
This is a well written book, in simple and easy to understand language that makes it a valuable companion for those that wish to get started on the Kaizen and Kaizen events. The book is brief and to the point, highlighting the essentials without getting bogged down with details.
