A Comment From Don Dewar
Today, I am going to let you in on 
a secret, a secret that will get you
started with your own improvement activities. As you now know, the concept of" improvement" has many parts to it, but in my opinion, one part dominates and overwhelms the others. That aspect of improvement is described in the book, The Idea Generator: Quick and Easy Kaizen. 

This book is a must for you. It is that good. If you follow its advice, you will save its cost a thousand fold!!!  

This easy to read book can launch your improvement activities. It can be your important first step in that direction. Your head will explode with the potential of what you and your people can contribute to the improvements in their work areas. Cumulatively, there will be astonishing breakthroughs in new methods and techniques that will lower your costs, improve quality, boost productivity, increase customer satisfaction, while at the same time, delivering a powerful motivational boost to your workforce. 

You can’t afford not to read this book. Call today and order a copy of  The Idea Generator: Quick and Easy Kaizen for yourself and your entire staff! 

Trust me on this high payback book.  It will equip you to take your organization to new levels of excellence! 

Over the years I have personally reviewed hundreds of books for our Quality Digest magazine. With rare exceptions, it took a determined struggle to plow through most of the books I received. One such exception is The Idea Generator: Quick and Easy Kaizen. I could not put the book down. I thought, “This book, in all its simplicity, has the power to generate overwhelming positive change wherever its concepts are implemented. A prime focus is to help generate tons of improvement ideas, more than you could ever imagine, from all employees, and empower them to install their own ideas! Therein lies the secret of why this creative revolution does not
become a bureaucratic nightmare.  This book tells you how to do it in a way that gives you an inspired workforce without any accompanying managerial headaches.  Ideas can be like diamonds in the rough  Finding one way to make your organization 1,000 percent better is wonderful (but unlikely). Rather, consider 1,000 ways to make improvements of one percent each (do-able). In the process of discovering the 1,000 ways, you just might stumble onto a 1,000 percenter!

And it is working in hundreds of organizations in Japan. Through this book, co-author Norman Bodek is bringing the Idea Generator Quick and Easy Kaizen message to America.  You can be a pace setter. You will be the better for it. Your organization will be the better for it. Your company will be the better for it, and so will our nation! 

Sincerely, 

Don Dewar, President

I have searched for a book that would relate Japanese management to American management techniques from not only theory but to the practical view, ie; Here is how it is done.  Many thanks for finally providing the American student the chance to become familiar with Kaizen.

This 252 page workbook is designed for each employee who will be making and implementing the Kaizen improvements (This will hopefully also include management level personnel who want to participate along with everyone else).  This workbook contains an overview of "Quick & Easy Kaizen" and instructions on how to do it the right way.  The workbook will become a living record for each participant over the long haul as improvements are recorded in it.  The Idea Generator Workbook is your guidebook to stimulate your creative thinking mechanism.  It is also your book to keep a record of your improvement ideas.  Learn the simple rules.  Look at the examples shown and then experiment on your own.  Come up with new improvement ideas, check out your ideas with your employer and your fellow workers, and then be responsible for implementing those ideas yourself or with your work team.  Once you begin you will see how much fun it is to be creative.  You will amaze yourself.
