The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry-led, and industry-managed organization, with over 9000 members from the private as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect membership of over 300,000 enterprises from 294 national and regional sectoral industry bodies. CII works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the development of India, partnering Industry, Government, and civil society, through advisory and consultative processes.

Kaizen is a system of continuous improvement in quality, technology, processes, company culture, productivity, safety, and leadership. In today’s scenario, ‘Kaizen activity’ is one of the benchmarked tools that not only enhance the growth of any Organisation, but also uplifts the Morale of the employees, setting a good example of ‘employer-employee relationships’, as it calls for collaboration, commitment & teamwork from top to down.

Kaizen provides immediate results. Instead of focusing on large, capital-intensive improvements, Kaizen focuses on creative investments that continually solve large numbers of small problems. Large, capital projects and major changes will still be needed, and Kaizen will also improve the capital projects process, but the real power of Kaizen is in the ongoing process of continually making small improvements that improve processes and reduce waste.
