Continuous improvement - The active learning cycle
This document discusses continuous improvement and the active learning cycle. It provides background on concepts like kaizen and defines continuous improvement. The active learning cycle is presented as a method for continuous improvement consisting of a cycle with four steps: check, plan, do, and act. This allows a team to regularly inspect their work, plan improvements, implement changes, and review the results in a repeating feedback loop aimed at incremental and ongoing enhancement. Advantages and potential failure patterns of this approach are outlined.
