Six Sigma Projects are great tools that businesses can use to improve processes and products throughout the duration of their operation. However, when they utilize this, it should be with an emphasis on developing long term solutions and making sure that the procedures that they put in place are going to last for many years to come. Six Sigma Projects won't carry on by themselves, but with the right framework they can be passed on to the process owner, who will ensure that the project remains effective for the future by maintaining the process to continuous improvement standards. Here are five reasons to develop a continuous improvement plan with your Six Sigma Projects:
1. Finding long term solutions to problems is much better than having to make changes and then fix the problems again and again. It doesn't make sense for you to keep revisiting over and over.
2. Over time things change so a solution that works now may not work in a few months or years. This means that there really is no solution will be 100% foolproof or last forever in any organization or industry. If you keep current with changes though, you can make sure to keep up.
3. CIPs (Continuous Improvement Plans) are implemented and made so that people can effectively keep things working without redoing an entire process. If you were to redo everything then you would be taking steps backwards.
4. Making improvements in a business is more about what will happen in the future than right now. It needs to be made sure that a company will be able to stand on its own after the six sigma team leaves and can take on the problems from then on. - 32538
