Kaikaku

Radical Improvement, usually applied only once within a value stream. Same as "Flow Kaizen"
Kaikaku is radical improvement of any activity, in particular to remove waste (or 'muda').
Thus, when approaching a problem situation, it might require radical improvement to start with (kaikaku), then be continuously improved (kaizen).
