Operational Excellence
For Everyone
We believe every business deserves access to world-class improvement methodologies—not just the ones who can afford six-figure consultants.
The Problem We're Solving
For decades, operational excellence has been the domain of large enterprises. The knowledge exists—Lean, Six Sigma, TPM, Theory of Constraints—but accessing it requires either expensive consultants charging $2,000+ per day, or enterprise software starting at $50,000 per year.
Small and medium-sized businesses are left behind. They face the same operational challenges as large companies—waste, inefficiency, quality issues—but without the budget to address them properly.
Kaizumi exists to change that.
What Drives Us
Democratize Knowledge
The best practices of operational excellence shouldn't be locked behind paywalls. Our dictionary is free, forever.
Serve the Underserved
SMBs represent 99% of businesses but get 1% of the attention from OpEx vendors. We're here for them.
AI as Equalizer
AI lets us deliver expert-level guidance at a fraction of traditional costs. Technology should level the playing field.

From LEI to Kaizumi
I spent 10 years at the Lean Enterprise Institute, working with organizations of all sizes to implement continuous improvement. I saw firsthand how transformative these methodologies can be—and how inaccessible they remain for most businesses.
The companies that needed help the most—small manufacturers, growing service businesses, healthcare clinics—couldn't afford what we were offering. Meanwhile, large enterprises had dedicated CI teams and seven-figure transformation budgets.
I started Kaizumi to bridge that gap. By combining deep operational excellence expertise with modern AI, we can finally make these tools accessible to everyone.
No hidden fees. No "Contact Sales." Just practical tools at honest prices.
