Culture is what turns improvement into impact. We have worked that way since 1985. Kaizen Institute was founded by Masaaki Imai, the father of KAIZEN™, and pioneered Continuous Improvement and Lean Management as a discipline. Today, more than 800 consultants work across 60+ countries, in manufacturing, healthcare, services, and public institutions. We think strategically and work hands-on. Our consultants stand alongside client teams at Gemba, where the work actually happens, because lasting change is built with the people who do the job at every level of the organization. The work shows up in the numbers: costs down, productivity up, quality better. Every engagement is shaped around the client's own problems rather than a standard package. We measure ourselves on what remains after we leave. Quick wins come first, then the harder part: teams with the capability to keep improving on their own, long after the project closes. We hold our own organization to the same standard. The way we work is under constant revision, just as we ask of our clients. Check more at kaizen.com

As the leading provider of self-serve automation solutions, Apex Supply Chain Technologies helps some of the biggest brands in the world increase productivity while reducing costs. Since 2006, our technology has helped companies disrupt their operations, finding significant productivity increases and cost savings in basic, well-established processes. The impact of automated dispensing solutions has been so well-received, retail and food companies are now using this technology in the front of house to meet the consumers’ ever-changing needs. In addition to retail and food applications, Apex devices are deployed in a variety of applications, including corporate office environments, handheld asset management, automated replenishment and industrial vending. Our devices track billions of transactions and, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), communicate this data in real-time to our cloud-based data platform, the Apex Trajectory Cloud. This makes it easier for Apex to quickly integrate with a company’s legacy systems and make its solutions a seamless part of its operations. With world headquarters in Mason, Ohio, Apex has offices in Australia, Germany, Poland, the UK and Latin America. Our founder and CEO, Kent Savage, is widely viewed as the founder of the industrial vending industry. In fact, April 27, 1993, the day United States patent 5,205,436 was granted to Savage for his “Machine Tool Dispensing Device and System,” is considered the industry’s inception. Savage applied for this, the first related patent, in 1991.
