Kaizen & Quality Circle

Kaizen refers to continuous improvement practices focused on processes. It involves small, incremental changes to minimize waste. Quality circles involve small employee groups voluntarily meeting regularly to identify work improvements. They use techniques like brainstorming, Pareto charts, Ishikawa diagrams for problem solving. Quality circles aim to develop employee skills through participation. Successful quality circles require management support, competent leadership, training, and trust between employees and management.
