I'm feeling good about Kaizen. After all, it's the 'continuous improvement' method that's all the rage in the business world these days. Time to show off my management expertise!

Haha, Kaizen for sure! I bet the exam designers are hoping to catch some candidates with the 'Six Sigma' option, but us savvy test-takers know better.
