Continuous improvement is an ongoing effort to improve products, services or processes. These efforts can seek “incremental” improvement over time or “breakthrough” improvement all at once. Continuous improvement for production teams involves company based training, concentrating on the forming and development of teams, selecting projects and then mentoring the operators and facilitators to the completion of these projects. The course is suitable for management and team leaders through to operators and employees directly involved in the process.
