Continuous Improvment (CI)

Brief.  Everyone knows the importance of CI but few have effective programs.  Advisory First has developed a highly effective CI process using lessons learned from many years of experience.  Tools used include:

• KISS, or Keep It Simple!
• Developing KPI and metrics that can be auto-generated using your computerized maintenance management software (CMMS)
• Teaching your employees how to perform Root Cause analysis in a simple and effective manner
• Working with your managers and supervisors to build accountability into the process so that actions identified are completed in a timely manner
• Using positive results from CI to reward deserving employees in order to build morale and the desire to continue to get better day after day.

Remember that CI is the third cornerstone of a World Class Reliability program (the bottom leg of AF Reliability Triangle).

Benefits.  CI is the cornerstone of a strong and effective reliability program.  The initial development of any of our offerings produces strong but not perfect solutions.  CI strengthens the initial programs year after year until World Class is achieved and maintained.
