摘要：Today, organizations worldwide from manufacturers, to hospitals, to banks, to software developers, togovernments are making a difference by adopting kaizen philosophies, mind-sets, and methodologies. Even though thenames of these strategies may change over the decades from continuous quality improvement and total qualitymanagement, to just-in-time and operational excellence, to six sigma and lean manufacturing, the most successful of thesestrategies are customer-focused, gemba-oriented, and kaizen-driven. Kaizen is one of the principles that support theToyota Production System (TPS) as a philosophy. Thus, it is tried to use it in the field of Construction Industry (CI)because of its inherent characteristics of production. And hence a model was developed to aid the professional of the CI tosystematically advance a kaizen project with the use of diagnostic tools and analysis of the production system. Theresearch method is defined by three sequential steps governed by two research strategies: theoretical-conceptual - for theliterature review and development of the model, and action-research - aiming the implementation of the model in abuilding site for housing production. As a result of the action-research strategy, using the model, nine problems as well astheir roots and kaizen opportunities were identified and classified in the productive system. The systematization of thegeneration of kaizen opportunities for the CI contributes directly to the quality of the final products and to the reduction ofcosts of building sites, because it allows for continuous improvements of processes based on higher levels of value addedwith the reduction of the use of resources in the production system.
