Kaizen

Last week I went on a Kaas Tailored “waste” tour and was pretty much blown away by what they are accomplishing.

I had read a little about Kaizen and at Nordstrom we are utilizing (somewhat) techniques like Kanban and various other Lean concepts, but to see it put  together and used like a well oiled machine and well, really working (helping the company succeed by helping employees including the managers make their jobs safer, more rewarding, and less wasteful) was so inspirational.

Here’s hoping this way of thinking spreads to a lot more businesses and organizations! If you have a chance to participate in a tour I highly recommend it.
