Lorenzo · Answer 1

The correct option is C, continuous improvement.

Explanation:

Kaizen budgeting which is an offshoot of Kaizen costing approach, is a method of budgeting which seeks to continuously seek improvements to processes in order that cost reductions can be achieved on an ongoing basis within the budgetary system.

A manager is expected to analyse its departmental's processes anytime the opportunity presents itself, hence, bench-marking processes with best-in-class internally or externally, can be very useful in ensuring continuous improvement is achieved.
