7 New Management & Planning Tools

 

In many organisations, the missing link that led to the failure of Total Quality movement is not attributed to poor strategic planning by the higher management (knowing where to go) but is mainly attributed to poor execution or implementation of process company-wide improvement programme (not knowing exactly how to go about doing it.)

 

This 2-day programme primarily focuses on how to apply the management and planning tools, technique and methodology by the Quality Improvement Teams (QIT) or other management teams to achieve improvement in the processes of Strategic Planning. This programme not only discusses the application of the Quality Improvement tools, but also draws out many principles, tips and “how-to” for improving the effectiveness of individuals or teams.

 

The overview of traditional 7 QC tools, and some details of the Seven New Management and Planning tools will be presented and discussed during the programme, complemented with various examples. Some complementary starter forms will also be presented with text to “jumpstart” any QI Teams.
