Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of continuous activities for improvement to promote the concepts of agent-based modeling of the social simulation to the other scientific communities. Because such a continuous process is similar to the one in manufacturing systems as KAIZEN activities, I utilize the concepts of KAIZEN to describe the prescriptions for Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) from the viewpoints of research processes, academic people, and problem solving methods of ABM.
