Kazuko Bhuiyan Welfare Trust hosted a comprehensive daylong session on the Japanese management philosophy of Kaizen and 5S, aimed at enhancing continuous improvement in work practices and individual efficiency.
Kaizen, a Japanese term meaning "continuous improvement," promotes a culture of quality and operational excellence.
The 5S toolkit, derived from five Japanese principles-seiri (sort), seiton (set in order), seiso (shine), seiketsu (standardize), and shitsuke (sustain)-ensures that every aspect of the workspace is optimized for productivity and safety.
Both Kaizen and 5S are committed to quality, ensuring that every process, product, and service consistently meets or exceeds customer expectations.
The event, held at the JT International Bangladesh Ltd. factory in Tongi, on Tuesday saw the participation of twenty corporate executives from various industries.
The workshop focused on Kaizen and the 5S methodology, two fundamental pillars of management, equipping participants with practical tools and expertise to implement these principles in their daily operations, thereby fostering a dynamic and efficient ecosystem.
This philosophy, which has revolutionized industries worldwide, encourages incremental changes to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve quality.
