Author Masaaki Imai argues that companies can become more profitable by constantly looking for efficiencies instead of seeking huge leaps, as is the Western custom. The Japanese philosophy of kaizen says businesses must mercilessly cut waste by eliminating anything that’s even remotely inefficient. These strategies will lead to more profitable companies and better employee morale. Imai makes compelling arguments, and supports them with a number of case studies and real-world examples that show kaizen in action. getAbstract recommends this book to managers, particularly executives of manufacturing companies.
