The dissemination of Kaizen

Kaizen Dissemination Stages

The kaizen dissemination stages are divided into three; the introduction stage, the dissemination, and the full-fledged stage. There are certain points to note when considering these stages;

First, the introduction stage is the trial stage having very limited resources. During the introduction stage, it is possible that the activities of kaizen are conducted on a pilot basis, thereby making the right use of the limited resources there is. For kaizen to be spread all over, the production of tangible results every step of the way, based on an already set plan is important instead of being aggressive and extensive when trying to do everything at once. The dissemination stage has to do with the dissemination of kaizen through the right human resource, systems, organization and policies. The full-fledged stage is where the utilization of the resources of the private sector, the securing of financial independence as a program occurs.

During the first two stages, the introduction and dissemination stage, the kaizen promotion organizations direct the dissemination of kaizen. Once the foundation of dissemination has been developed during the introduction and dissemination stage, the full-fledged stage which is for the dissemination of kaizen comes next. During this stage, the collaboration with the nation’s private sector becomes very much required.

The dissemination of kaizen by the private sector is not entirely easy. In Africa, not every local company can afford the consulting fees for kaizen. The promotion of kaizen through the activities of private organizations becomes difficult in countries where the industries are not fully developed.

As it is desirable, the government should try and encourage the private sector of the nation to be very much involved in all their effort in the dissemination of kaizen so as to create demand for any kaizen-related activities. There is the need to establish a system for the outsourcing of some of the operations of the public sector to the private sector and also develop the dissemination structure of kaizen that makes use of the private-sector capabilities.

Characteristics of the Mobilization of the Private Sector for the Dissemination of Kaizen

There are different types of technical services that cannot be offered by public organizations but can be provided by private organizations.
