Abstract
Gemba Kaizen is a Japanese concept of continuous improvement designed for enhancing processes. Gemba refers to the location where work is performed, while Kaizen is tied to the improvements. Gemba Kaizen includes identifying changes, making improvements, monitoring changes, and readjusting as necessary. An individual, group of people, or an improvement suggestion system can perform Kaizen. Having a strategic system in place to monitor improvements will lead to great results in the long-term overall improvement.
