Kaizen Planning, Implementing and Controlling by Midiala Oropesavento

Kaizen Planning, Implementing and Controlling by Midiala Oropesavento

This book reports a literature review on kaizen, its industrial applications, critical success factors, benefits gained, journals that publish about it, main authors (research groups) and universities. Kaizen is treated in this book in three stages: planning, implementation and control. The authors provide a questionnaire designed with activities in every stage, highlighting the benefits gained in each stage. The study has been applied to more than 400 managers and leaders in continuous improvement in Mexican maquiladoras. A univariate analysis is provided to the activities in every stage. Moreover, structural equation models associating those activities with the benefits gained are presented for a statistical validation. Such a relationship between activities and benefits helps managers to identify the most important factor affecting their benefits and financial income.

This book not only shows you how to practically implement and control kaizen success but can be used as a helpful manual for teaching others the core values and results of kaizen methodology(Samantha Braithwaite, Inside Business Magazine, Vol. 37 (21), April, 2019)
