What Tools and Methods are Used in Continuous Improvement?
Several tools and methods are commonly used in continuous improvement efforts:
- Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycle: This iterative four-step process helps in testing and implementing changes. - Lean Methodology: Focuses on minimizing waste and optimizing processes. - Six Sigma: Aims at reducing variability and defects in processes. - Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Identifies the underlying reasons for problems to prevent recurrence.
