(1) The company is tactically managed with Procedures that are continually improved to increase productivity, increate effectiveness and to reduce the time to deliver. |
3. The Corrective Action Plan acts the mechanism by which procedures and policies are reviewed and revised. |
4. Acceptance of a Corrective Action Plan has a cost and a time to provide a quality improvement. |

6. The policy of continual improvements is deployed with non-conformance reporting and corrective action plans to cause those improvements to happen in a formal documented way. |
1. Reversal: |
1. Every corrective plan is designed with a way to reverse the effect if the effect is not an improvement. |
2. However every corrective plan is planned as if it could never be revrsed because that is the expectation in the majority of cases |
3. Experience has shown that is the majority of cases, where a corrective plan does not deliver the results expected, it can be improved further. |
4. It is easier and better to improve an improvement, than to back-out all the changes associated with an improvement because some parts of the improvement still have value. |
5. Not all improvements are complete and correct first time, but with more dilligence the improvement can be made to deliver most of the benefits expected. |
POLICY: A large number of tiny improvements are more stable and less risky than a small number of massive improvements. |
(1) People have the capacity to understand and comprehend the full implications of a tiny improvement. |
(2) People tend to fail to understand and fail to comprehend the full implications of a massive improvement. |
