Continuous improvement is an on-going effort to improve products, services or processes. These efforts can seek “incremental” improvement over time or “breakthrough” improvement all at once. Continuous improvement for production teams involves company based training, concentrating on the forming and development of teams, selecting projects, and then mentoring the operators and facilitators to the completion of these projects.

 

In general, the course content and delivery is tailored to suit the company’s needs. The course content is a combination of delivered lecture material and actual project focused work. Participants will be introduced to continuous improvement practice using basic quality analysis tools and how to apply them in a team environment on company targeted improvement areas. The sessions will include:

 

Team members and Facilitators

• Quality concepts and basic quality tools
