Kaizen method focused on processes within the private health service

Abstract

This chapter puts forward the implementation of the Japanese philosophy “Kaizen” to apply in the processes of a private medical health service company, with the purpose of increasing quality and satisfaction. The study was developed with the identification of improvement points and priority   projects for the company, subsequently it gave way to the creation of control charts by calculating the arithmetic mean (X) and the range (R) of the service attention time with the collection of 100 samples. As a result, it was obtained that the processes are out of control against the changes that are derived from environmental variables.
