Integrating AI into Kaizen Events for Continuous Improvement in the 21st Century
Abstract: This article explores the evolving integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Kaizen practices within Lean manufacturing systems. It examines how AI-enhanced Kaizen events contribute to operational efficiency, adaptive learning, and human-centric innovation across industry sectors. Drawing on frameworks such as Neutrosophic Cognitive Mapping and Digital Kaizen, the study proposes a conceptual model that aligns continuous improvement with Industry 4.0 and 5.0 principles. It emphasizes the role of psychological enablers, leadership styles, and emotional dynamics in sustaining effective implementation. The article concludes that AI augments, rather than replaces, the human elements of Kaizen, offering a forward-looking perspective on sustainable, digital-first improvement strategies.
Keywords: Industry 5.0, Kaizen, Digital Kaizen, Neutrosophic Cognitive Mapping, human?cyber?physical systems (hcps)
