Continuous Improvement (CI)
Define- is an approach to work, that systematically seeks to achieve
incremental changes in processes in order to improve efficiency, quality,
cost, time…
Common CI tools programs:
•DPS
•Lean
•Six Sigma
•Total Quality Management - TQM
•Industry Organization of Standards - ISO certification
Why is it good for a company
Why is it good for employees

Improvement
Focused Improvement is the best
practice of identifying the major
wastes and other priority areas in
order to focus all improvement
activities on them. It guides and
focuses the other best practices.
With the addition of a divider employees desk will no longer become
involved with other personnel's copier activities. (i.e. stapling, non-retrieved
papers)

Visual Management (VM) has two distinct themes —
performance measurement and visual display. In this
TRACC, the emphasis is on measuring the right things
such as waste, quality and on-time delivery.

Autonomous
Maintenance
This TRACC focuses on operators taking
ownership of their
equipment and share the responsibility
for its maintenance with the
maintenance department. The operator
should not replace the tradesperson,
but should perform first-line
maintenance tasks, such as cleaning,
inspection, lubrication, minor repairs
and assisting with major repairs.

Asset
Care This TRACC addresses the
systems and activities which are
needed to ensure maximum
equipment availability and
performance at an optimum
cost.
It focuses on the maintenance
department's function and its
partnership with the production
department.

Reduction
This TRACC focuses on reducing
the amount of time between distinct
production runs, typically due to product
changes, equipment sanitisation or planned
maintenance activities.

Kanban
A Kan-ban is a card containing all the information required to be done
on a product at each stage along its path to completion and which
parts are needed at subsequent processes.

Qualit
y This TRACC focuses on ensuring consistent
product quality by controlling it 'at source'. The
source includes both the suppliers of material
and production operators.
Achieving quality is therefore proactive, rather
than reactive. It also addresses the need for
well-defined, visible quality requirements for
each step in the value chain. Also Quality is the
best practice whereby work teams take
responsibility for product quality by monitoring
and correcting critical process variables to
keep the product within customer specification
limits.
5S
5S is a system which was
developed in Japan to establish
basic discipline and order in the
workplace.
It creates an environment that is
an essential foundation for other
best practices to prosper and for
people to be really effective.
