Employ Improvement Initiatives!

• Tools and Technical Content

  Employee teams can be taught the basic improvement principles in a couple of hours, meeting once a week for a month or two, depending on the scope, depth, and breath of your project. Use our free audit forms to assess your operational condition and the free training materials to help you get going.

• The Continuous Improvement Process

  Unwavering management commitment to Lean Thinking is necessary if it is to work. A system needs to be in place to assure that employee-initiated projects are carried through to completion; corrective and preventive action tracking systems (such as those used to satisfy the ISO 9000 requirement) can be adapted for this purpose. Utilize our free support materials to help sustain your on-going effort. SQS: A Process for Improvement highlights total employee involvement through team contributions, Accountability Meetings drive results and hold responsible those closest to the process, and RCCA: Root Cause Analysis helps to identify the true cause of a problem.

• Human Resource Development

  The organizational behavior "soft sciences" aspects of change management are also important, and we offer guidance in this area as well. Utilize our fee-based Workshops and Coaching Sessions for leader skill development.

• Remember:
  Continuing improvement means continuing education.
