Continuous Improvement
Continuous improvement is the ongoing effort to enhance products, services or processes incrementally. The primary goal is to make steady and gradual improvements over time, by regularly assessing operations, identifying areas for improvement, implementing changes and repeating this cycle later.
It often incorporates methodologies like Lean and Kaizen, which help to optimize processes and make operations more efficient. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement, businesses can better adapt to changes, stay competitive and achieve operational excellence.
