Abstract
Before constructing the structural equation model, latent variables and their items (Kaizen activities and benefits) must undergo a validation process. As discussed in Chapter 3, Kaizen implementation has been divided into three phases, each one of them containing specific and critical activities. These activities—also named items or variables—are in turn included into categories known as latent variables. Such integration method has been employed according to previous research that we have carried out (García et al. 2014a; García et al. 2013a).
