Journal Title: Mašinstvo - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
For about sixty years principles of TQM, Kaizen, Six Sigma and others continuous improvement strategies (CIS) play a vital role in quality engineering and management. They are presented in many books, scientific and professional journals, consulting companies offers and first of all in the Internet as an easy tool (almost a patent) for an efficient running a company and its never ending improvement. The goal of this paper is presentation and systematisation of relation existing between all these CIS. It is indicated in the paper that all off them make use of a common set of principles, methods and tools. Great attention is paid to one of author’s observation, that CSI allow professionals (e.g. designers, technologists, managers) more efficient usage of their knowledge, especially tacit knowledge. It is stressed their importance in creating a friendly environment for harmonious development of so called hard and soft skills and competences. However the condition is a systematic and not occasional use of them.
