Editorial Review: Book Description: The goal of this book is to guide improvement activities throughout the organization: to use creative ideas from all employees to serve both internal and external customers, to unlock the hidden potential of every single employee, and to bring new excitement and joy into the workplace.

The book focusses ... Read More Rating: - Very UsefulI am actually using this book to help me implement a Kaizen program in a Fortune 500 company. It's useful and quite a good book. The author has been very helpful! Rating: - A profound approach to empowering your employeesThe Quick and Easy Kaizen system recognizes that every worker has hidden creative talent locked inside of them. Toyota successfully harnesses employee innovation, with over 1.5 million employee suggestions implemented each year. This represents about $300 million in annual savings that go straight to the bottom line. In his book, Norman Bodek discusses how the Quick and Easy Kaizen system becomes a powerful tool for bringing forth numerous small but significant improvement ideas from all employees. ... Read More
