What is Continuous Improvement?

Continuous Improvement (also known as Kaizen) is a method for discovering new opportunities to streamline work and reduce waste.

Planbox’s Continuous Improvement Platform serves as a framework for problem discovery, cross-functional collaboration, analysis, and solution development for your business processes, activities and operations on an ongoing basis.

“Planbox provides a continuous improvement and collaboration platform with powerful and easy-to-use reporting.” Chief Innovation Officer, Stoel Rives LLP

How Does Continuous Improvement Work?

Target your entire workforce, regional offices, business units, teams, or specific user groups to discover and implement quick changes that lead to immediate cost reductions, reduced risk, and new incremental revenue opportunities. For example, here’s how a typical continuous improvement process works:

  • Design and launch a company-wide Continuous Improvement challenge. Collect ideas around questions like: “what should we stop doing?”, “can we identify a supply chain logistics bottleneck?”, or “how can we accelerate customer value delivery?”

  • Enable internal and external users to submit new suggestions, feedback, and ideas.

  • Comment and vote on ideas. Choose a voting method that suits the challenge and user base you are targeting.

  • Subject matter experts review, screen, and evaluate entries.

  • Ideas and suggestions are rated and reviewed in subsequent successive stages by management and other decision makers.

  • Improvements are planned and approved for full implementation or proof of concept.

  • Experiment around shortlisted improvements using focused agile projects and insight-test iterations.

  • Improvements that get the final green light are finally scheduled for execution.
