Japanese Business Methods

Kaizen and Six Sigma are two Japanese concepts adapted into Business theory that are aimed at helping companies to continually improve. I learned about them on my colleague's blog Thing blogging
They both sound rather like the dreaded Neurolinguistic programming to me: you analyse processes very carefully and make tiny adjustments to improve performance.
Isn't that what a good manager should do anyway? Apparently there are various analytical techniques involved. I am quite keen to learn more.
