Explanation:

Kaizen is a Japanese term meaning 'continuous improvement.' It is a philosophy that focuses on incremental improvements in processes, efficiency, and quality. In supply chain networks, Kaizen aims to enhance performance by systematically refining procedures, reducing waste, and increasing productivity. Unlike radical changes or focusing on profits, Kaizen emphasizes steady, consistent improvements over time which collectively lead to significant performance enhancements.
