The word "kaizen" in Chinese characters means "to improve what is wrong. In contrast, "kaizen" in Toyota has the meaning of "not being satisfied with the status quo, but making it better than it is now."

1. This is a spelling correction.
2. You should not capitalize "kaizen" since it is not a proper noun.
3. It would be more appropriate to say "and" here without using a comma since you're mentioning only two things.
4. You should always put quotation marks at the end of the quotation.
I have never heard of it. Since you mentioned that it is used in the manufacturing industry, can it be applied in other industries?

I have never heard of this in any other industry. On the other hand, the idea of never being satisfied with the status quo and constantly improving processes is valid in all industries and practices.
In my previous job at a consulting firm, we had a review meeting after each project to discuss how to improve the quality of the next project.
