Tracking data points such as time, production and ROI will help you determine if the improvements you make are effective. Using continuous improvement today, in environments where complexity and variability are the norm, is like playing an endless game of killing a mole. Once all of these elements have been examined and the course of action has been determined, any previous process mapping can be reviewed to design the new process and use it as a tool for creating training materials.
