Continuous improvement approaches
Improvement approaches
- (re)design
o ‘new’ start ideal situation
o Project
- Continuous improvement
o Improving existing situation
o Ongoing – cyclic approach
Continuous improvement tools
- Cause and effect diagram (fish bone diagram)
This shows causes of problem. E.g. overdue maintenance leads to breakdowns. If you were
to solve this/remove it then breakdowns will be gone too.
