Kaizen and Lean Defined

Kaizen is a term from the Toyota Production System that literally means to take apart and study, but has become synonymous with the term "kaizen event", which is when a team performs an intense burst of improvement.

Lean Production methods are used to identify and eliminate waste.
(Lean production methods can be used with or without Kaizen, and are effective to identify and eliminate waste in ANY process. This is not just lean manufacturing training.)
