Case Study

The philosophy of kaizen is one of Toyota’s core values.It means ‘continuous improvement’

The Toyota Production System invites team members to think about the process and make timely decisions in order to keep it running smoothly, Rather than merely operating like machines

This involvement creates responsibility for the success of the process, increasing both morale and quality.
