During the training, Mr. Yimer Abebe highlighted the core principles of Kaizen: simplification to streamline processes and reduce complexity, quality improvement to enhance products and services, time efficiency, and safety assurance to ensure a secure working environment. He emphasized that Kaizen is a holistic management approach, integrating philosophy, systems, and problem-solving tools.
The training underscored the importance of Kaizen as a foundational concept for effective management, encouraging staff to adopt continuous improvement in their daily tasks and organizational processes. This initiative by HRM at St. Mary’s University reflects its commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and continuous development among its staff members.
