Kaizen

Overview

Kaizen (change for the better) has long been recognised as one of the major tools of the Toyota Production System (TPS).

Practising Kaizen on a daily basis ensures that we constantly challenge to find a better way of working and therefore eliminate waste within our operations. For that reason TPS never stands still and constantly evolves to the next level.

It is a process that engages, empowers and motivates the employees at all levels. Tapping into the innovation and creativity of our people ensures we can make continuous improvement without the need for massive levels of investment expenditure.
