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: 

  1. SDCA: Standard, Do, Check, Act

  2. PDCA:  Plan, Do, Check, Act

  3. EDCA: Explore/Evolve, Do, Check, Act

    The 3C’s lean cycle are tools to help lead your organization toward excellence. 

In this graphic, the Y axis (Areas of Focus) is broken into acting leadership roles (shop floor personnel, shop floor managers, directors directors, vice-presidents, and CEOs). The X-axis highlights where their time should be focused

  • SDCA: In this example, the shop floor personnel and shop floor management focus on SDCA: Supported by Learning to Listen® and Gemba Value Stream Performance Management routines

  • PDCA: Applying Voice of Supply Chain®—Three Big Voices (Suppliers, Process, Customers) with a workforce focused on improving the business operations: PDCA with ongoing incremental enhancements  

  • EDCA: Directors, Vice Presidents, and CEO focus on EDCA- Strategy Deployment and breakthrough initiatives.
