Continual Improvement

1/27/2023

 
Quality management system (QMS) strategies for continual improvement, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and long-term business success.
​Quality management systems (QMS) are the backbone of any organization that aims to achieve and maintain high levels of quality in its products or services. However, a QMS is not a one-time implementation; it requires continuous improvement to stay relevant and effective. Continual improvement is a key requirement of every international business management standard. As a result, we thought we would dedicate today’s post to discussing several methods that can be used in your continual improvement efforts. 
1. Plan, Do, Check, Act
The Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle is a widely-used method for achieving continual improvement of quality management systems. The PDCA cycle consists of four steps; Plan, where organizations establish clear goals and objectives for their QMS; Do, where the organization implements the plan; Check, where the organization reviews and evaluates the QMS; and Act, where the organization implements corrective and preventative actions to improve the QMS. By continuously repeating the PDCA cycle, organizations can identify and address issues with their QMS, and continuously improve it in order to meet customer needs and achieve organizational goals.
 
2. Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a methodology that can be used to achieve continual improvement of quality management systems. Six Sigma is a data-driven approach that focuses on identifying and eliminating defects in processes in order to achieve near-perfect quality. Six Sigma uses a variety of tools and techniques, such as statistical process control and process mapping to identify and eliminate sources of variation in processes. By implementing Six Sigma, organizations can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their processes and ultimately improve customer satisfaction and achieve organizational goals.
 
3. Lean
Lean is a practice that focuses on eliminating waste and improving efficiency in processes. Lean uses a variety of tools and techniques, such as value stream mapping to identify and eliminate sources of waste in processes. By implementing Lean, organizations can reduce costs, improve quality and increase customer satisfaction. Lean also encourages teams to continuously identify and eliminate waste in their processes. Lean Six Sigma is a combination of both Lean and Six Sigma which can provide more comprehensive improvement in a business process.
 
4. Total Quality Management
TQM is a management approach that involves all employees in continuously improving the processes and systems that produce goods and services. TQM focuses on customer satisfaction, employee involvement, and continuous improvement. One of the key principles of TQM is that quality is everyone’s responsibility, which means that all employees should be involved in the quality management system and continuously work towards improving it. TQM also emphasizes the use of data and facts to guide decision making and problem solving. TQM provides a comprehensive approach that covers all aspects of the business and requires regular review, evaluations, and improvement to ensure it is keeping up with the changing needs of the business.
