Kaizen is the process of continuous improvement over time. Quite simply, organizations who follow Kaizen believe in “one-time” or “step by step improvement” of their processes. As a result, they might not complete a task in one go but instead do step by step improvement of the said task and continually improve in small manners.

here is a continuous cycle of Kaizen which exists with the sole focus of improvement. It is a guide on how to spot the shortcomings and improve on them for a better and more efficient process. The Kaizen cycle has 7 steps and they are as follows

Involve Employees – The Kaizen cycle starts with analyzing the issues and problems which needs improvement. Employee involvement is very important at this stage.
Process analysis / Finding problems – In step 2, you analyze the complete process and the reason why the issues and problems are arising or cropping up.
Think of the solution – A creative method is involved where a person can think of any idea and innovate. No idea is rejected. Out of the ideas presented, one solution is picked as the winner and then this idea is implemented and tested.
Implementing the solution – The idea which was selected in step 3 is then implemented and action is taken on it. Remember that in Kaizen, everyone is involved in the implementation and everyone is responsible.
Analysis of results – The resulting change caused by the implementation is analyzed. Again the complete process is analyzed to determine the fit of the new method with the complete process.
Standardize if results are optimal – If the results were optimal and there is a complete fit between the new method and the complete process and if the issues and problems are removed, then the new process is standardized. Standardization means adopting the new method throughout the organization (example – different production facilities or different offices)
Repeat – The philosophy of Kaizen says that a single step will rarely bring about drastic improvement. Instead, small and continuous change is required to bring about a major change in the organization. Thus the cycle of Kaizen is repeated. The cycle can also be repeated after the 5th step if the new process implemented is not found up to mark.
