Executive Summary
Continuous Improvement
Continuous Improvement is a requirement for any business focused on improving its profit, and a business not focused on continuously improving is a weakening and dying business. There are three requirements that a business must focus initiatives toward for sustained profits, and continuous improvement of each typically leads to increased profit. The first, and most important requirement, is producing the quality of products and services that your customers expect. Your customers pay your price and they expect quality in what they pay for; if your customers cannot get the expected quality from you, then they will look elsewhere. Consistent high quality keeps the customer and builds a reputation that attracts new customers. The second requirement is delivery of the 5 rights to your customers. Your customers expect you to deliver a quality product and service to the right place, in right quantity, at the right time, at the right price and by the right people. Continued repeatable and scalable delivery of the 5 rights is what sets your business apart from your competitors and what establishes an impeccable brand that customers flock to. Finally, the third requirement is cost control. You must orchestrate the marvellous delivery of complete customer satisfaction at a total cost that is decreasingly less than the price of your service and products in order to make a profit. Shareholders not only expect a profit; they expect improving profit month to month, quarter to quarter and year to year. So, do you want to improve your profitability? If so, you must agree with me that a plan has to be in place to continuously improve the delivery of quality services and products at a decreasing cost. And this plan must provide the services and products at the right price to the right place in the right quantity by the right people and at the right time, every time. As your business partner, I will help you target and eliminate the two enemies that attack your business every day and that prevent your improved profitability. The first enemy is waste. Waste is the enemy that is typically right in front of us that chews up precious resources by creating excessive expenses related to unnecessary transport, excess inventory, wasted motion, waiting, over production, over processing, quality defects and under-utilizing the skills of your employees. The second enemy is variation. Variation is a more challenging enemy because it often originates in upstream processes and manifests itself in downstream processes, in less than 100% quality and/or in the delivery to your valued customer. To eliminate variation we will focus on identifying its root cause and modifying processes such that they are repeatable and predictable.
