5 Continuous Improvement Tools for Process SuccessKashish Trivedi
The process of continuous improvement begins with incremental enhancement. You’re on the right track if you’re thinking of minor tweaks. For example, lean production starts with fine-tuning the issue of waste. You initially make small changes to achieve that goal. Waste is anything that doesn’t add value to the process or the result.
Your journey of removing waste from a process begins with using a continuous improvement tool to create a strategy for your team. The strategy can be something as simple as upskilling.
Process Reengineering vs Continuous Improvement: What’s the Right Choice for ...Kashish Trivedi
Your organization might have a disconnected system. As a result, each customer or team member needs to go through various people and departments to solve an issue.
Everyone involved in this process is frustrated because the information is lost and people constantly need to repeat data.
Adding effective management can solve this problem. By making that change, information becomes more shareable. Overhauling the system like this requires a considerable investment in the short term, but will increase long-term efficiency.
In the ever-evolving landscape of business, adaptability and progress are paramount. Enter Kaizen, a Japanese philosophy that's making waves in industries worldwide. Kaizen, which translates to "continuous improvement," is a strategic approach that thrives on the power of incremental change. This philosophy champions the belief that small, consistent improvements can lead to substantial transformations.
In this SlideShare presentation, we explore the essence of Kaizen and its profound impact on organizations aiming to stay competitive and relevant in the fast-paced market. We'll delve into its core principles, the methods used for its application, and real-world success stories of companies that have harnessed the power of Kaizen.
Discover how Kaizen empowers employees, enhances operational efficiency, and cultivates a culture of innovation and excellence. Learn about the tools and techniques that drive this philosophy and understand the pivotal role of leadership in its implementation.
With Kaizen, your organization can not only keep pace with market changes but also surge ahead. Join us on this journey of continuous improvement and see how Kaizen can transform your approach to business, one small step at a time.

2. A business owner, either planning on a new start-up or
seeking opportunities to improve on existing methods will
greatly increase their odds of success when productivity
of the process is thoroughly thought through from the
beginning.
The term “Productivity” refers to the efficiency of a
process. It measures how inputs have been effectively
utilized to produce a profitable output.

PRODUCTIVITY

4. A well written process will define things like what
activities are to be done, who performs them, what is
the purpose, how it is performed and who is
responsible for the process. It is:
1. Repeatable
2. Creates Value
3. Finite
4. Flexible
A process is a defined sequence of repeated steps
applied towards task achievement. It is a business

PROCESS IS
IMPORTANT
• Provides consistent output.
• Reduces time wastage, and provides clarity on the
work to be done.
• Provides a basis for continuous improvement.
• Makes training and knowledge transfer easy and
consistent.
• Supports quality requirements and goals .
• Increases efficiency and productivity.
• Ensures resources are put to good use.

When defining a process, take time to ensure that each step adds the
value you require to your business - Be it direct or indirect value.
7. Once processes have been created the next step is to
organize them into a sequence of operation, so that
they form a continuous flow.
For example, the process of making pap requires to boil water
to a certain degree, make a paste off the pap while water is
heating, pour boiled water into paste and stir immediately. then
add choice of beverage.
If the sequence of pap production is not defined, a worker can
choose to wait for the water to boil before making the paste of
the pap. This will lead to waste of time resulting from waiting.
What if the worker chooses to mix the beverage with the pap
paste before pouring the water? This will affect the quality of the
pap and such a mistake can cause waste of resources due to
defective output.
To maintain a productive system, processes should be mapped
in a way that they produce the best output.

8. LEAN
SYSTEMS

Lean thinking is a method of creating and continuously
improving processes through the organization of human
activities. A system is lean when it aims to eliminate all
forms of waste generated from overproduction,
inventory, motion, defects, over-processing, waiting,
and transport.
JUST IN TIME (JIT) TECHNIQUE
Produce the appropriate quantity
needed.
TAKT-TIME
Align production with demand.
5S
Promotes quality by ensuring the
proper organization and arrangement
of the work environment
KAIZEN:
Aim to reduce costs and increase
productivity, through continuous
improvement.
Some useful lean techniques to consider for a process
include:

9. A standard operational procedure (SOP) is the
documentation of a defined process. It details a series
of step-by-step instructions on how to perform routine
tasks correctly and in the same way, no matter who is
performing them.
An SOP is a reference guide, so team members and
even new employees can work more independently
and don’t have to rely on anyone for guidance on every
single task.
Remember that the easier the instructions are to read
and understand, the more likely it will be followed
correctly and consistently by different members of the
team.

entire business goal. It creates an effective link that
allows successful communication between the different
departments in an organization
Process management considers all aspects of the
business by ensuring:
• Efficient use of resources
• Productivity improvement opportunities
• Competitive business decisions etc.
Process management provides the avenue for business
expansion, use and improvement of processes.

11. IMPROVING
PROCESSES
Every process has a constraint and focusing
improvement efforts on the constraints, is the fastest
and most effective path to improve profitability.
Imagine you have a cooker that takes 60 mins to cook
10 plates of rice, or you have a pot that can only take 10
plates of rice for a cooking cycle of 60 mins; but your
demand requires that you serve 15 plates in an hour. It
is easy to see you need to change your cooker and get
a bigger pot; not to improve on your ingredients.
Adding more spices will make the rice sweeter, but it
does not solve the problem. No matter how spicy your
rice is, you will never sell more than 10 plates if you do
not change the cooker.

12. SUMMARY
Those who oversee production activities should prioritize
process management as against people management.
With proper task delegation, target communication,
control measures, defined KPI’s and other performance
communication tools, people are usually able to manage
themselves.
A manager must channel energy and time towards
strategies that bring about new methods and cost
reduction opportunities; This is how processes get
improved
Ultimately, process improvement is a continuous and
ongoing task. Remember to set targets that are specific,
measurable, relevant, achievable and time specific.
