    This document discusses the concept of Kaizen and cost cutting through small, continuous improvements. It provides examples of cost cutting suggestions such as asking passengers to lower window shades to keep planes cooler or having pilots use ground power while waiting. The document emphasizes that cost cutting should not compromise quality and should involve small, repetitive suggestions from employees. Suggestion boxes and one-on-one meetings are recommended to solicit suggestions. Warnings are also given about using cost cutting measures for personal gain rather than the good of the company.
