Continuous improvement didn’t appear out of nowhere; it evolved over more than a century of problem-solving and innovation. The story begins in the early 1900s with Henry Ford, who reshaped manufacturing through the moving assembly line, standardised work and the relentless removal of waste.
After World War II, Toyota expanded on these ideas and created the Toyota Production System, refining waste reduction, improving flow and building a culture where everyone contributes to better ways of working. Then in 1988, an MIT researcher captured this entire philosophy in one word: lean.
Today, Ishan cuts through complexity to uncover the simple, powerful essence of continuous improvement and what it really takes to unlock excellence in any business.
