Kaizen Costing

Kaizen costing is a continuous cost reduction approach applied during the production phase of a product’s lifecycle. Instead of setting costs upfront, it focuses on incremental improvements in processes to lower expenses over time. This method supports operational efficiency and long-term profitability through small, measurable performance enhancements.
