At I-5 Design and Manufacture, we utilize a system called Kaizen. This is a production philosophy that was developed by the Japanese and we found to be very helpful in serving our clients. The word kaizen, means continuous, incremental, improvement. Kaizen aims to eliminate waste, activities that add cost but do not add value. Kaizen must operate with three principles in place: 1. process & results (not results only), 2. Systemic thinking (big picture, not solely narrow view), 3. Non-judgmental, non-blaming (blaming is wasteful). When used correctly, kaizen humanizes the work place, eliminates hard work (both mental and physical) while teaching people how to perform experiments using scientific methods, as well as learn to identify and eliminate waste in business processes. We aim to apply kaizen in every area of our business, from office to sales to design to manufacturing to installation. All of these methods contribute to the slow, but constant, incremental process that is Kaizen, which results in a better work environment for everyone involved, total quality control and best of all, a better end product for our clients.
