To ensure that the kaizen mindset is being followed and that every individual's creativity is being fully utilized, the following three rules are commonly prescribed:
1. Spend no money
2. Add no people
3. Add no space
In practice, results will be just the opposite; kaizen will reduce costs, space requirements and cycle time. Of course, since it is continuous, as soon as one set of problems are solved, new problems surface which must be overcome. By going through this process, the production system becomes stronger and stronger.
