Kaizen Philosophy
The essential aim of Kaizen is the accomplishment of small improvements involving the continuous efforts of everyone. Over time these small improvements will generally produce larger effects than by using a single big project style approach. Its aim is to enhance the effectiveness of the current system that exists, not to make changes in the basic system. Learning is promoted via this approach with management at all levels being...

Root Cause Analysis Using the Fishbone Diagram
The identification of the reason for an event increases the chance that the event can be caused or prevented in the future. The process of finding the fundamental reason why some event or defect occurred is called Root Cause Analysis. Many tools have been created to perform root cause analysis. A few of these tools include the Pareto chart, the fishbone diagram, and failure mode and effects analysis... (posted by Steve 2 years 319 days ago.)

Use Gantt Charts and Avoid Disaster
Not maintaining any Gantt charts for its project indirectly led to a construction company's failure and untimely demise. It had incurred extensive charges in penalties and eventually had to close down its construction which had run nearly 15 months behind schedule. I have mentioned in my earlier article about the usefulness of Gantt Charts as a tool to aid better business management. However, they do not give all... (posted by Steve 2 years 332 days ago.)

Find Your Root Cause With Fishbone Diagrams
A useful tool for completing a root cause analysis on a defined problem is a fishbone diagram . A fishbone diagram encourages team members to work systematically and to look beyond the obvious causes of a problem. The structure of the fishbone diagram allows for potential root causes to be found in a structured manner. Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa , a Japanese quality control expert, invented he fishbone diagram. It...

Project Management Certification - Gantt Chart Sequencing and Duration
Complicated tasks need great project management software and tools for scheduling such as Gantt and PERT charts, but many simpler or less complex tasks that involve few workers in a short time period will also mean a simpler approach to complete. This means that more often than not a simple project will only use a few steps. These steps will usually be dependent on all the other steps... (posted by Steve 2 years 335 days ago.)
