Kaizen?

[PNPatrol]

Hey all, I was looking around toyota's site and I came across a new site of theirs. Anyone seen www.planetkaizen.com? It's kinda like a Toyota encyclopedia but it's set up like a desktop. Yeah, hard to explain but I like how they put all the info together and spice it up a bit.

Anyone out there know what this site's about?

Kaizen is the term Japanese use to describe "continuous improvement", which is a part of Total Quality Management. TQM was started in Japan after WWII in an effort to make Japan more efficient at production. Hope this helps.

Its all about the 'Toyota way'. I worked at the plant where they make the Corolla Matrix and RX330. They are all terms from Japan. Kaizen is a word for constant improvement. The site was orginally setup for people to learn about the Toyota way.
