Abstract

Top management of manufacturing could benefit from methods that are designed to create a systematic process for implementing continuous improvement across the organization. In this article, we propose two methodologies, Kaizenomics, a glossary-based audit system with the standardized definition of terms and methods be utilized and BizCocreation, a technology-assisted collaboration method with emphasis on interactive diagrammatic dashboard design to enhance knowledge management and engage stakeholders. The ultimate objective is to catalyze and sustain continuous improvement within an organization to enable a positive quality culture.
