KAIZEN is a Japanese word of management methodology/philosophy whose meaning is; “Change for the better” or “Continuous improvement”. It has been applied in Tanzania for improving the quality and productivity of local industries and services as a joint project with the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade (MIIT) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) since 2013.
