Purpose: The purpose of this publication is to present the usage of Kaizen approach in Industry 4.0 conditions.^^ Design/methodology/approach: Critical literature analysis. Analysis of international literature from main databases and polish literature and legal acts connecting with researched topic. ^^ Findings: The integration of Kaizen principles into the realm of Industry 4.0 signifies a strategic alignment between time-honored doctrines of continuous improvement and the revolutionary technologies characterizing the fourth industrial era. Originating from post- World War II Japanese reconstruction, Kaizen has evolved into a global philosophy guiding organizations toward sustained growth and excellence. In the context of Industry 4.0, marked by automation and artificial intelligence, Kaizen serves as a catalyst, seamlessly aligning with the dynamic nature of continuous improvement. Emphasizing data-driven decision-making and smart manufacturing, Kaizen becomes integral to organizations aspiring for efficiency and excellence in the digital landscape. Beyond methodologies, the integration fosters a cultural evolution, exemplified by virtual Kaizen events, employee empowerment, and digital tool optimization, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement. Tables 2 and 3 illustrate the holistic integration and advantages of Kaizen in Industry 4.0, while Table 4 acknowledges potential challenges and offers strategic solutions. Ultimately, this integration represents a transformative journey from historical recovery to a globally recognized philosophy, guiding organizations toward continuous improvement, adaptability, and excellence in the dynamic landscape of the fourth industrial revolution. ^^ Originality/Value: Detailed analysis of all subjects related to the problems connected with the usage of kaizen in Industry 4.0 conditions.(original abstract)
