Year: 2013
Type: preprint
Abstract: Continuous Improvement (CI) strategies are the recognized way of reducing waste by focusing on small incremental changes. Most of the manufacturing industries are currently encountering a necessity to respond to rapidly changing customer needs, desires and tastes. To compete in this competitive environment, these manufacturing organizations need to adopt such strategies in their manufacturing environment. CI strategies ensure that manufacturing processes become leaner and fitter, and also eliminate waste where value is added. This study attempts to identify various CI strategies utilized by the manufacturing organizations and reviews the existing literature on CI strategies.
