Most books about kaizen explain the tools. Few explain how kaizen is actually taught and practiced.
For nearly four decades, Shingijutsu sensei have quietly transformed companies large and small through a method handed down one student at a time. Their teachings have lived almost entirely at the genba - until now.
Written by three people trained directly by Shingijutsu masters, Shingijutsu-Kaizen opens the door to a way of thinking most Western literature misses entirely. Discover the Zen roots of "relentless improvement," the philosophy behind "tough love" coaching, and why "create a challenge" is a Shingijutsu sensei's most important rule.
Featuring three never-before-published case studies - a hospital, an aircraft engine repair center, and a furniture manufacturer - and an eye-opening correction of the widely misunderstood 5S framework, Shingijutsu-Kaizen is a practical guide for any leader seeking to improve processes and develop people.
