Kaizen basically means that the first design should never be the last design. Improvements should be made constantly. Kaizen is similar to the fifth theme, which is continual redesign, which states that reiterations of a sketch should be done over and over to improve the product.

An early concept we had for project 6 was to set up several displays with nutrition facts on them in restaurants for people to understand what's needed daily and how much of it.

Once we applied the Kaizen technique, it was clear to us that this idea would be a big cost for implementation and would probably receive little to no feedback. However, the improvements we made through the process showed us that we could implement this idea in a single restaurant and receive good feedback.
