Continual Improvement Management is used to implement service, process, and function improvements. An improvement initiative contains goals to measure success, and phases that contain tasks with specific actions to complete the improvement. Use the Continual Improvement Workbench to plan and manage improvements. Both tile and list views are supported. Use the Continual Improvements dashboard to show improvement progress and results in the form of statistics and charts using Performance Analytics. Integration with other applications As part of Continual Improvement Management integration with other applications, an improvement initiative can be created from within other applications and, conversely, records for other applications can be created from within an improvement initiative (or CIM task). An improvement initiative can be created from these applications.

Once an improvement request is submitted, the Improvement Manager, who oversees all improvements, accepts and assigns it to an Improvement Coordinator for implementation. The Improvement Manager also runs prioritization meetings with Improvement Coordinators and uses the workbench to monitor, manage, and plan overall progress. Once the improvement request is assigned, the Improvement Coordinator creates phases and tasks for the work needed to complete the improvement, in coordination with the Improvement Manager. The Improvement Coordinator also meets with task owners to ensure they are on track for the expected completion deadline. When all work has been completed, the Improvement Manager reviews the improvement for closure, and uses dashboard reports to measure status and success. Email notification When an improvement is set to certain states or a target review date is breached, an email notification is sent.Table 1.

You can create improvements separately in a specific domain, or in the global domain.

Separation of data is configured along with separation of logic and process. Domain separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains. You can then control several aspects of this separation, including which users can see and access data. On this page Send Feedback Previous Topic Next Topic
