Step - 4 Improve

Improvement activities are often put together with daily activities of sustaining current standards. By making a separate space to work on improvement activities in a regular cyclic approach, teams can get the right headspace to think differently.

Remember to change the standard

The final part of improvement is to ensure effective control to prevent drifting back to previous levels. To do this the original standards need to be revised, this means changing the work place organisation and standard of work.

Effective Communication

Communication before , during and after improvement work of any changes made, temporary or permanent, are essential to the effectiveness of improvement work. Ensure you have an effective two-way communication system, that means incorporating feedback from communications in the process and ensure that every member of staff has a voice so they feel involved.
