Focused
Improvements
Focused
improvement projects can be straight forward or extremely complex.
Generally, the complexity increases with the number of people and
processes affected. The Continuum Management Group, LLC, classifies
focused improvement projects as Types I or II. Type I projects can
be completed within a department. Type II projects require more
than one department's participation to complete.
Whether Type
I or II, The Continuum Management Group, LLC, ensures positive
results by utilizing a wide array of assessment, planning, and
management tools associated with Lean, Six Sigma, the Theory of
Constraints, Hoshin Planning, and GOAL/QPC.
Type
