What is the Continuous Improvement
Process
A systematic research for the causes of
unwanted symptoms and the gradual
therapy of the causes using specific tools,
teamwork, innovation and communication
Continuous Improvement steps
1.Detect symptom (eg increased nosocomial infections)
2.Analyze potential causes (lack of systematic
disinfection, no hands washing etc)
3.Locate most important causes
4.Locate potential solutions Select optimal solution
(systematic disinfection)
5.Correct important causes (apply training of medical
personnel, enforce cleanliness)
1ST
principle. We are aiming continuously at the improvement of
the existing situation. CIP is a never ending process
2nd
Principle of CIP : The customer decides what is Quality for
him
3d principle . Everybody is responsible for the quality if his
(her ) work. We are all quality managers
4th
principle. Prevention is the key. Prevention comes before
correction
CIP Principles
5th
principle Everybody is committed and involved in idea
generation, identification and resolution of problems through
systematic teamwork.
6th
principle . Team work relies on cooperation and recognition
of performance as well as commitment and contribution.
7th
principle. Everybody supports improvement efforts.
Improvement is not a job for the few
CIP Principles
What is a problem? Non mechanized
patient acceptance fro treatment
What is a symptom? Delay in taking in
patient
The automobile example
A measurement system is
required
Measurement in Health Sector : Examples• Mortality
• Morbidity
• Percentage of Nosocomial Infections
• Percentage of complete cure of incoming patients
• Percentage of improvement of incoming patients
• Percentage of patients without cure
• Satisfaction of patients from knowledgeable doctors
• Satisfaction of patients from hospitality environment
• Satisfaction of patients from acceptance and release processes
• Number of medical personnel per patient
• Required days of cure (bed occupation) per case
• Effective capitalization of available beds
Zero defects = “I do it right the first
time”
Each of 20 people caries out one given operation of the HEALTH
SECTOR of case X.
With a 3.5 % nonconformance rate for each of them, ONE product out
of TWO, may be nonconforming. (one death every two patients)
CAN WE ACCEPT A NON CONFORMING PRODUCT OUT OF TWO?

QUALITY COST
COC-P = Prevention, eg management of the quality function, quality studies,
preventive checking of facilities, prepare and carry out reviews, purchase
quality system, quality education, customers and suppliers order checking,
resellers qualification, customers solvency survey, quality promotion and
communication, other prevention expenses
COC-E = Evaluation. Products and services qualifications, reception of
purchased products and services, process proofing, controlled delivery
program, inventory quality audit, quality audit, customer satisfaction survey,
other evaluation expenses.
CONC = Cost of non Conformance. Defects analysis, product or service
modification, scrap, retouching, new test or inspection, inventory excess or
shortage, inadequate loads, administrative order modification, inadequate
training, installation cost higher than standard, trouble shooting, after
installation, spare parts, late delivery, administrative delay, commercial
offsets, other CONC expenses
My strategy is the
creative mind of my
people

Directions for KPIsDirections for KPIs
KPIKPI Family DimensionFamily Dimension
Productivity Measures employee output (units/
transactions/ dollars), the uptime levels and
how employees use their time (sales-to-
assets ratio, dollar revenue from new
customers, sales pipeline).
Measures the ability to meet and/or exceed
the requirements and expectations of the
customer (customer complaints, percent
returns, DPMO -- defects per million
opportunities).
Quality
KPIKPI Family DimensionFamily Dimension
Profitability Measures the overall effectiveness of the
management organization in generating
profits (profit contribution by
segment/customer, margin spreads).
Measures the point in time (day/week/
month) when management and employee
tasks are completed (on-time delivery,
percent of late orders).
Timeliness
KPIKPI Family DimensionFamily Dimension

same value at a different time, geography,
etc. (e.g., percentage change in sales vs.
last year).
KPI Category DimensionKPI Category Dimension
Simple
Ratio
The comparison of one value relative to another to
provide a benchmark for comparison of
performance (e.g., average sales per day).
Index
A combination of several separate measures
added together that result in an overall indicator
of performance (e.g., (company sales growth)/
(industry sales growth) for a specific geography).

Editor's Notes

  • #12 (Needs validation by HR) We have an incredible amount of talent within this business and our aim is to ensure that, through working more effectively together, blending local knowledge with world class skills, we will not just meet but exceed our customers’ needs. By increasing our knowledge and understanding of our customers and the solutions we offer we will be able to do it. Our customers frequently tell us that one of the reasons why they choose to work with Amadeus is the skill and knowledge of our people and our partnership approach. By developing our skills and competencies, we can learn and adapt rapidly to the market changes, providing a better service. Most people say that the Amadeus culture is special - it’s a great place to work – but not many can define why. Our global culture and values exercise (which you will participate in later) will contribute to define that culture so we can nurture it as a key element in our future success. By making explicit these culture and values in our global communications and common internal process, we will bring them to life. All the mentioned above will have a direct impact on our business as it will allow us to increase our performance by sharing company goals and priorities, enabling us to be better equipped to respond effectively to the customers.
