Kaizen events are intensive, short-term workshops designed to drive rapid continuous improvement within a manufacturing facility Conducted by a cross-functional group, these events aim to address areas of improvement to enhance productivity, increase efficiency, and overall competitiveness.

Kaizen is based on the 'K-Curve'
Kaizen is based on the Japanese concept of the J-Curve which illustrates the changes that happen during an improvement process. In the early stages, the change is slow, but as more effort and changes are implemented, a sharp increase is seen indicating positive results. The expectation is that sustaining the improvements can lead to a significant increase in long-term benefits.
