The Role of Metrics Management in Continuous Improvement

Have you noticed that some of the biggest improvements achieved in your operation can be directly linked back to a big problem?

The focus that comes from a problem that can no longer be ignored is one of the engines that drive continuous improvement. How can we institutionalize this focus - that is, get the improvement without the "big problem"?

The answer - implement a metrics management system that is consistent with established lean principles.
