Continuous improvement processes are used to solve problems in multiple types of businesses and industries, including manufacturing and production, service, office environments, and the military. Continuous improvement processes are important because they allow organizations to identify problems, develop and implement solutions, and then evaluate the solutions for their effectiveness in solving the identified problems. Continuous improvement tools and techniques are used to help organizations reduce costs, improve effectiveness and efficiency, and increase productivity. In this assessment, you will analyze a company in a comprehensive case study ("Implementing LEAN Operations at Caesars Casinos" in your custom Textbook/Case Study Bundle) report of findings. You will begin by identifying a problem facing the company in the case study. Next, you will interpret the data (found in an Excel spreadsheet) related to the problem and a graphical representation of the data. Finally, you will apply the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle to the problem.

 

Company: Which company is discussed in the case study? What are the company's goals? Who are the company's stakeholders? Describe the company, its goals, and its stakeholders. Problem: Describe a problem that the company in the case study is trying to solve. How is the problem preventing the company from meeting its goals? How does the problem affect the company's stakeholders? Resources: Analyze the company's resource management. In other words, is the company managing its resources effectively? How is the effectiveness of resource management related to the problem you identified?
