In today's business environment, not improving is not an option. If you aren't moving forward, you are moving backward, there is no staying even. Continuous improvement has become a part of our organizations. Successful organizations constantly measure and improve every internal and external process that contributes to customer satisfaction and organizational goals. Process improvement is used to advance those goals or to improve a measurement that is not acceptable, to obtain continuous improvement.
