CIS- CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
The science of competitiveness.

THE NEED
Continuous Improvement is mandatory in increasingly competitive times.
Many continuous improvement systems are too complex for their own good.

THE PROGRAMME
CIS - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT is a hands-on, straightforward system that enables managers and their supervisors to:

• Identify what, exactly needs to be improved, and in which of three crucial improvement domains(volumes, quality or cost).
• Set realistic targets for improvement.
• Understand the trade-off implications of improvement decisions.
• Identify how the improvement can be achieved.
• Plan the right resources and processes for the improvement.
• Iplement the plan and measure the results.
• Reflect on the results and learn from them.

BUSINESS BENEFITS
To Management: Having a workable continuous improvement process that can be driven by operational teams in any function vastly enhances the task of management.

To the Business: Increased profitability, through:

• Continuous improvement in either productivity, quality or cost dimensions.
• Enhanced ownership of performance improvement.
• Targeted performance reporting at regular intervals.

THE DETAILS
Methodology:

• Three hour team-based continuous improvement simulations.

• Ongoing implementation of the CIS system.

Participants: Managers and supervisors.

Programme Duration: 4 hours, followed by implementation of the CIS system in the workplace.
