Kaizen is treated in this book in three stages: planning, implementation and control. The authors provide a questionnaire designed with activities in every stage, highlighting the benefits gained in each stage. The study has been applied to more than 400 managers and leaders in continuous improvement in Mexican maquiladoras. A univariate analysis is provided to the activities in every stage. Moreover, structural equation models associating those activities with the benefits gained are presented for a statistical validation. Such a relationship between activities and benefits helps managers to identify the most important factor affecting their benefits and financial income.Management and Industrial Engineering,2365-0540Industrial managementProduction managementStatisticsIndustrial ManagementProductionStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth SciencesIndustrial management.Production management.Statistics.Industrial Management.Production.Statistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.684.1García-Alcaraz Jorge Luisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut761903Oropesa-Vento Midialaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMaldonado-Macías Aidé Aracelyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910148852503321Kaizen Planning, Implementing and Controlling1948553UNINA
