1. Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the process of taking performance metrics from the team and comparing
these results to industry leaders. Problems and inefficiencies can be identified and acted upon.
Targets for performance improvement can be devised, planned and implemented. With target
achievement comes performance improvement and greater knowledge.
The most widely used tool in the continuous improvement process is the PDCA cycle - The Plan-
Do-Check-Act. You can read more about it here.
Statistical process control is a method of quality control which uses statistical methods to
control, monitor and manage a process. Quality data is in the form of product or process
measurements which are obtained in real-time. Control limits are set. If data falls outside the
control limits, then this indicates variation away from the process standards and reason to
search for a source of this variance.
Variation risk management is a tool for identifying, assessing and, if needed, nullifying
unwanted variation in a process. It is a process geared toward the most effective reduction of
negative process variation, given limited resources.
The process of business re-engineering involves discovering the business operations and
processes, determining the frailties and inefficiencies, redesigning these processes to eliminate
redundancies, and finally implementing these redesigned processes. Re-engineering
emphasizes a holistic approach; looking at large-scale change that can be implemented,
focusing on business objectives and the processes related to them.
6. Six Sigma
Six sigma is a data-driven approach for removing defects in any process from manufacturing to
engineering, product and service. Six sigma approaches uses two main basic principles: DMAIC
and DMADV.
