Explanation
Kaizen is the Japanese concept of continuous improvement through small, ongoing, incremental changes. A team that systematically records impediments, analyzes how they were resolved, and develops strategies to prevent recurrence is embodying Kaizen. This practice builds organizational learning and a culture of relentless improvement over time. SMART goals (B) and KPIs (C) are measurement frameworks, not the outcome of this process. Muda (D) refers to waste in lean thinking-the opposite of what is being built here.
