CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT (CI) STRATEGIES
CI STRATEGIES
SYSTEMS, PROCEDURES & PROCESSES
We will help you improve your systems, procedures, processes and understanding in implementing these various methodologies. Every company can embrace these changes and improve every function within the organisation, but the crucial thing is realising that change and new systems are required. We have lots of literature and data on the tremendous successes businesses have experienced in this area.
CI is made up of cultural and workflow elements. It is a mindset of always trying to better current systems. It leads to the evolution of products, services, workflows and other aspects of the organisation, so they become more optimal and efficient over time.
The ultimate goal is the elimination of waste - Time, Raw Materials and Labour from the process, so the end product/service can be delivered/shipped quicker, faster and cheaper.
There are 4 main Models;
Six Sigma
Minimise faults, defects and variations from the established process in order to increase overall quality of the output. The benchmark is set at 3.4 defects per million units produced. Most existing processes rely on continually implementing DMAIC - Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control.
Kaizen
Its origins are from Japan, and the ultimate goal is the systematic elimination of waste. Its core element, is that it is an inclusive model and designed for full employee participation. It is ubiquitous in a manufacturing environment. Frontline workers are best placed to identify inefficient processes.
Fail Fast Fail Forward - Learning & Changing
About relentlessly moving towards better solutions, by making and learning from mistakes quickly. Tinkering with the small things as you move towards the optimal solutions.
Perpetual Beta
Represents the mind set that a product, service or solution, can never be perfect or complete. Origins are from software companies, updates are continually released, in order to better the overall product and patch bugs.
