An interesting article on Kaizen


The idea Kaizen - The Japanese Style Productivity Improvement Methodology was used in the report PART I of Reports on the immediate impact of the classroom training program based on the baseline survey and the first post-training survey , January 15, 2011, Funded by Japan PHRD Trust Fund No. TF096317 and  the study was conducted by Tetsushi Sonobe, Aya Suzuki, and Keijiro Otsuka of National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies.
