Abstract
Through the past chapters, we have discussed Kaizen implementation in its three phases—planning, execution, and control—and its impact on different Kaizen benefits (economic, competitive, and for human resources). Likewise, while Chap. 11 has assessed the impact of the Kaizen planning phase (and activities) on these benefits, Chap. 12 focused on the relationship between Kaizen execution phase (and activities) and the same Kaizen advantages. Therefore, in this last chapter, we still propose three structural equation models. However, they assess the impact of the Kaizen control phase on Kaizen benefits obtained by Mexican manufacturing companies. As in Chaps. 11 and 12, the first two models include latent variables associated with Kaizen control activities, whilst the third model integrates these latent variables into a single one.
