Continuous improvement is possible even in a context of very limited  financial, human and material resources. Let us recall the Pareto principle that 80% of the effects are often attributable to 20% of the causes. Thus, eliminating significant waste can restore the performance of failed processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the scope of continuous improvement projects, they steps are often very similar: defining the need, mapping the process, identifying causes and effects, and then finding a solution. An action plan and a control plan provide a framework to ensure the success of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In fact, it is mainly the complexity of the problem and the availability of resources that will determine the ideal format for the process.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/labyrinthe.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-378\" width=\"426\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/labyrinthe.png 881w, https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/labyrinthe-600x321.png 600w, https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/labyrinthe-500x267.png 500w, https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/labyrinthe-768x411.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-question-when-undertaking-a-continuous-improvement-process-should-all-operations-be-reviewed\">Question: When undertaking a continuous improvement process, should all operations be reviewed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small changes can have a quick impact without disrupting your daily activities or requiring significant effort.\u00a0 If you can reduce the length of a process, eliminate unnecessary tasks, or lower the cost of manufacturing a product, you\u2019ll see long-term gains.\u00a0 It all comes down to an analysis of the situation or, if you prefer, a diagnosis of the process.\u00a0 For example, if employees have to leave their workstations to speak with their supervisors, this results in production stoppages, wasted time and unnecessary travel. A simple and effective solution would be to bring the telephones closer to the workstations, thus increasing the company\u2019s productivity.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-big-benefits\">Big Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Never forget = a small change (20%) can generate big benefits (80%).\u00a0 A training on best supervision practices helps support everything in order to implement good habits of participative management on the ground.\u00a0 Simple, inexpensive and advantageous solution for all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The solution to waste can be simple to implement and may not require any particular investment in terms of resources.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cromagnon.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cromagnon.png 508w, https:\/\/www.lean-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cromagnon-500x275.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In short, it is essentially about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The right thing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the right time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the right place<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No more, no less<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This maximizes <strong>value added (VA)<\/strong> and eliminates <strong>non-value added (NVA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>VA<\/strong> = What the <strong>customer wants<\/strong>, a <strong>critical<\/strong> activity that <strong>directly contributes<\/strong> to meeting their need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NVA<\/strong>= <strong>Everything else<\/strong>, any non-essential activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-few-simple-and-effective-tools\">A few simple and effective tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>5S<\/strong> (Separate-Sort, Locate-Store, Sparkle-Clean, Standardize, Follow-Involve)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kaizen, kaizen-blitz, Rapid Improvement Event<\/strong> (waste identification workshops with employees on the floor)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Process mapping<\/strong> (method used to illustrate and sort the activities of a work process)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kanban<\/strong> (visual management, just in time)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bottlenecks<\/strong> (value production can only be increased by increasing production capacity at the level of a bottleneck).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All these continuous improvement tools are based on the same simple and effective principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Constantly trying to do better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowing you are never perfect, but knowing perfectly well that you will be better than before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s an endless loop with an intensity that varies according to your company\u2019s priorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To resume, it&#8217; isn&#8217;t always necessary to use expensive means to solve a problem.\u00a0 A <strong>good diagnosis of your production system<\/strong>, <strong>proven process optimization methods<\/strong> and <strong>training on<\/strong> <strong>best supervisory practices<\/strong> can, more often than not, help you achieve your performance goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quote of the Week:<\/strong> \u201c<em>There is nothing more useless than doing very effectively something useless<\/em>\u201d (Peter F.
