Kaizen costing focuses more on continuous improvement, right? I don't think it fits the urgency here.

Business process re-engineering, huh? I guess they're looking to 'engineer' a whole new way of doing business. Maybe they should call in the 'Business Architects' to design the perfect office layout.
