    Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement by eliminating waste. The document discusses key factors for customers like time and reducing lead times. It notes that manufacturing cycle time is only one part and that inputting, processing, and issuing orders along with assembly, loading and delivery also present opportunities for improvement. Common improvement efforts in the past focused only on reducing non-value added time with no attention to other areas, resulting in reduced lead time but at a substantial cost.
