Che cosa è il Kaizen? Definizione

Il metodo del Kaizen sul miglioramento incrementale continuo è un concetto originario giapponese di gestione del cambiamento graduale (incrementale) e di miglioramento continuo.

Il Kaizen è veramente una filosofia sullo stile di vita. Suppone che ogni funzione della nostra vita si merita di essere migliorata costantemente. La filosofia del Kaizen si trova dietro a molti concetti di gestione giapponesi come: Il Total Quality Control, i Cerchi del Controllo Qualitàtivo, i piccoli lavori di gruppo, i rapporti di lavoro.

Gli elementi chiave del Kaizen sono: qualità, sforzo, partecipazione di tutti gli impiegati, compiacenza al cambiamento e comunicazione.

Le aziende giapponesi si distinguono tra: Innovazione, una forma radicale di cambiamento e Kaizen, una forma continua di cambiamento. Kaizen significa letteralmente: cambiare (kai) per diventare buono (zen).

I cinque elementi fondamentali del Kaizen

1. Lavoro di squadra.
2. Disciplina personale.
3. Morale migliorata.
4. Cerchi di qualità.
5. Suggerimenti per il miglioramento.

secondo questo fondamento, tre fattori chiave nel Kaizen sono

• Eliminazione dello spreco (muda) e della inefficienza.
• La struttura a cinque S del Kaizen per un buon governo della casa.
•       1. Seiri - ordine
•       2. Seiton - buona condotta
•       3. Seiso - pulizia
•       4. Seiketsu - pulizia standardizzata
•       5. Shitsuke - disciplina
• Normalizzazione.

Quando dovrebbe essere applicata la filosofia del Kaizen? Anche se è difficile esprimere pareri generici è chiaro che si adatta bene nelle situazioni di cambiamento graduale e incrementale che richiedono un cambiamento nel lungo termine e nelle culture collettive. Le culture più individualistiche che sono concentrate di più sul successo nel breve termine sono spesso favorevoli a concetti come la Riprogettazione del Processo di Business.

Kaizen paragonato a Business Process Reengineering

Quando il Kaizen è paragonato al metodo del BPR è chiaro la  Filosofia del Kaizen è più orientata alle persone, più facile da implementare, ma richiede disciplina nel lungo termine e fornisce soltanto un piccolo passo del cambiamento. Il metodo di Riprogettazione del Processo di Business d'altra parte è più duro, orientato alla tecnologia, esso permette il cambiamento radicale ma richiede considerevoli abilità manageriali di cambiamento.
