    A deep under­stand­ing of Kaizen, which means to change for the bet­ter, will change the way you look at process improve­ment for­ev­er. In this course, which is also from the School of Lean, you’ll learn what Kaizen is as well as how to run a kaizen event. To be sure, con­tin­u­ous improve­ment projects don’t have to take months to com­plete.
