Abstract

Kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement, is widely applied in manufacturing to enhance productivity, quality, and operational efficiency. This study evaluates the impact of Kaizen implementation in an agriculture implement manufacturing plant in India. A case study methodology was adopted, comparing pre- and post-Kaizen performance over six months. Key performance indicators, including production output, cycle time, defect rate, machine downtime, delivery performance, and employee participation, were analyzed. The results indicate significant improvements in all parameters, demonstrating that Kaizen is an effective strategy for operational excellence and cultural transformation. The study provides practical insights for manufacturing firms seeking sustainable process improvements.
