that seeks the continuous improvement of
what exists. It is a conviction that one can do
better today than yesterday and that
tomorrow will be better than today.”
European Productivity Agency(1959)

strives for and achieves the habit for
improvements, as well as the systems and the
set of practices that translate the attitude
into action…”
