CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENTS

- has an observation (pemantauan) period

NOTE : Pls ignore the dots in the graph above ..

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT is like doing something 'non-stop' .. kita buat sesuatu tanpa berhenti sejenak pun utk lihat ruang2 penambahbaikan atau mungkin ada option lain yg lebih baik etc .. where as CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT ada 'pause' dari masa ke masa di mana kita berhenti sekejap utk menilai, buat perubahan n pantau samada perubahan itu efektif atau tidak .. kemudian 'adjust' balik jika masih tidak menepati hasrat / objektif etc ..

Actually Continual Improvement is what ISO is looking for .. n bukannya Continuous Improvements tanpa pause utk beri ruang penambahbaikan etc .. smoga info ini dpt membantu .. wallahu a'lam
