Kaizen

I found this article today regarding the principles of kaizen (improvement). It is nice to see that I am not alone in my fight to eliminate waste. While I agree with a lot of what the article says, it focuses more on lean thinking that the true philosophy of the Toyota Production System. You cannot address ony muda (waste) without reduction of muri (overburden) and mura (unevenness).
