Continuously Improve
Reimagining Operations Management Systems
To harness a culture of continuous improvement within a workplace, let's start with the components of the 3 C’s lean cycle:
SDCA: Standard, Do, Check, Act
PDCA: Plan, Do, Check, Act
EDCA: Explore/Evolve, Do, Check, Act
The 3C’s lean cycle are tools to help lead your organization toward excellence.
