Yeah, attending one of those Kaizen meetings at Amazon had me like about 6 years ago.

They literally came up with a plan that fundamentally changed the way all operations inside the plants worked in a matter of 2 years.

Can y'all post the story instead of just the links ?

But is this about lean management ?
Because if so, it's absolutely hard on the employees, which are then considered and treat as robots. Basically paid slaves.

They went from 3 minutes to 11 seconds to pack a box. Toyota made sure the workers know its a quota and forced them to stick to it or else.

Kaizen!!!! You gotta love it... It really works. The most powerful thing about Kaizen is the reflection part. You see what the problem is and you sit back figure out what is really creating the core issue. The part that most people have issues with is trying to solve the problem too quickly. Take time understanding the problem. Then make a small adjustment...then another...then another. The crazy part is that can literally Kaizen ANYHING.

Good luck getting many people to sit and think. Everyone is too fukking worried about multitasking at all times to get anything done.

Multitasking has been proven to make you even less productive.
