Community Answers
Literally, kaizen roughly means good change. The concept of kaizen is that continuous small improvements are in aggregate more effective than just a few large changes. True kaizen activities should focus on low-cost, short lead-time improvements that make an immediate impact. More generally, kaizen thinking really means that someone is always looking to make improvements. This is a good opportunity for the candidate to demonstrate their understanding of kaizen thinking.
"To me, kaizen is not just implementing changes here and there or conducting structured events every so often. Kaizen is a way of thinking where one is always questioning how things are done and looking for opportunities to make things better. I live and breathe kaizen at work and home. I am always looking for ways in which I can streamline and improve my day-to-day activities. I am constantly looking for small improvements in the workplace that will make work easier and more efficient for myself others."
