Dynamic processes in lean systems strive for ambitious goals, indicating the importance of continuous improvement efforts.
Any system can be judged by its goals and its results.The results are dependent on the goals and reflect the goals' ambitions.Wonderful results based on improvement activities aimed at " reasonably attainable" objectives can hardly be sustained over a long period of time.Such improvement programs are here referred to as simple or time-framed improvement programs.Continuous improvement (kaizen) implies the idea of endless efforts aimed at goals that are seemingly beyond the system's means or reach.The paper sustains thus that kaizen is a dynamic process directed toward unrealistically reachable goals.In fact, it is contended that asymptotic goals are the dynamic engine that sustains lean systems like TPS.
