Defining Continuous ImprovementThe term “continuous improvement” is derived from the essence of the Japanese term KAIZENwhich is a systematic approach to the closing of gaps between customer expectations and thecharacteristics of process outputs. First used in the 1950’s, it has since been known by termssuch as Continuous Quality Improvement and Continuous Process Improvement as well as beingclosely tied, and almost synonymous, with the umbrella expression called Total QualityManagement (TQM).In an article in Quality Digest, Danny Langdon [1] states: Continuous Process Improvement is designed to utilize the resources of the organization to achieve a quality-driven
