View Full Version : Is there a Kaizen Certification? Stijloor 11th December 2007, 10:10 AM is there a certificate for kaizen same as that of iso or kaizen is only guidelines and bestpractices:thanks: Hello MDWEEK, Kaizen is not subject to any registration/certification process. It falls under "Continual Improvement." Stijloor. MDWEEK 11th December 2007, 10:14 AM so it is only best practices or guidelines i can bring these guidelines and use to improve a company without registration or something? where can i have books about kaizen to buy can you help me?:thanx: Ted Schmitt 11th December 2007, 10:29 AM so it is only best practices or guidelines i can bring these guidelines and use to improve a company without registration or something? Sure can, you can use Kaizen principles during your own personal life or at your own home... continuous improvement is continuous improvement no matter where or what.... It would be a positive if you did apply Kaizen principles to your organization... as stated it falls under continous improvement 8.5.1 where can i have books about kaizen to buy can you help me?:thanx: One of my favorite places to buy books is on Amazon since they ship to Brazil... I did a quick search there and came up with http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-9755995-9042247?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=kaizen&x=0&y=0 wmarhel 11th December 2007, 10:41 AM so it is only best practices or guidelines i can bring these guidelines and use to improve a company without registration or something? where can i have books about kaizen to buy can you help me?:thanx: Check out Amazon.com (http://www.Amazon.com) or Productivity Press (http://www.ProductivityPress.com). Type in Kaizen in the search field for books. Masaaki Imai has two books regarding the concept of kaizen but this geared more toward the concept of the "blitz" or week long process. This is loosely based on the jishuken or autonomous study group workshops held by Toyota. Wayne Mustang 11th December 2007, 11:53 AM I also recommend taking a look at the Kaizen Institute. It was founded and is chaired by Masaaki Imai. Website is www.kaizen-institute.com (http://www.kaizen-institute.com) (don't forget the dash). I have taken a few courses from them, and they offered a lot of information in easy to understand and use terms/illustrations. |
