Production improvement systems in business have become more a matter of fashion and, unfortunately. less what they are intended to be. They are constantly marketed by consultants as business management break-throughs.
Famous more recent ones were known and are still referred to as Lean Manufacturing, and the Six Sigma system. They are simply just old-fashioned quality control procedures.
But doesn’t everyone believe in production improvement, or process improvement or quality control? Whatever label you put on them? A good business manager inherently knows this without the labeling.
The trick, however is in their implementation. Motivation is essential in sticking to such programs on an ongoing basis. Boredom always is the fly in the ointment, so periodic appraisals are essential. Furthermore, management needs to employ in-house or outside experts to check on processes and results.
Forget the titles that you assign the project.
