[Fropki] Brilliant Ways for Continuous Improvement

Ok, straight to the point, Continuous Improvement is an on-going effort in order to improve products, services or procedures of any organization. The effectiveness or efficiency enhancement can be in terms of cost optimization, better quality, improved customer satisfaction index, quick response time, fast production rate, reduced fault rate, Six Sigma Compliance, electricity conservation and several other domains.

 

According to management consultants there are three kinds of improvements;

 

Continuous Improvement: Improvement at a linear rate.

 

Continual Improvement: Improvement at gradual rate.

 

Breakthrough: A giant leap with major changes in a domain or several domains, sometimes executed only once.

 

Below is the recommended strategy for the Execution of Improvement Process:

 

1- Define current performance of Product, Services of Procedure(s).

 

2- Identify areas of improvements (suggestions available in first paragraph of this article)

 

3- Brainstorm the available ideas
