Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Kaizen is the Japanese term for the need for continuous improvement in the organization's production system from numerous small, incremental improvements in production processes. The process should be dealt with in three steps: maintenance, kaizen, and innovation. The maintenance step is the status quo of the process  how it is done. Kaizen is the interim step of identifying small ways to improve maintenance. Innovation is the resulting changes to the process. After the process is modified, the innovated process then becomes the new status quo and the kaizen process begins again.
