Indeed word “Kaizen” is the composition of two Japanese terms, “KAI” (change) and “ZEN” (better); thus, “change for better” retrieves the fundamental concept of continual improvement. Before and during the week of Kaizen, collecting data is required for its application turn to identify and solve the problem as well as achieve the final goal: all improvement activities must be carried out in the office looking at the materials, operators, information and equipment; furthermore all activities must be documented using the standard module developed for the week.
