Process Improvement Through Algorithms And Statistical Tools

Managing Software Process Improvement (SPI) through Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Measurement based software process improvement is nowadays a mandatory activity. This implies continuous process monitoring in order to predict its behavior, highlight its performance variations and, if necessary, quickly react to them. Process variations are due to common causes or assignable ones. The former are part of the process itself while the latter are due to exceptional events that re...

Statistical Process Control and Quality Improvement

• Statistical process control (SPC) is a management philosophy that relies on straightforward statistical tools to identify and solve process problems. • By systematically identifying potential problems in process control, managers can proactively make corrections before quality outcomes suffer. • SPC methods are useful in helping managers to measure whether their processes and products conform...

Improving quality through process change: a scoping review of process improvement tools in cancer surgery

BACKGROUND Surgery is a cornerstone of treatment for malignancy. However, significant variation has been reported in patterns and quality of cancer care for important health outcomes, including perioperative mortality. Surgical process improvement tools (SPITs) have been developed that focus on enhancing the processes of care at the point of care, as a means of quality improvement. This study d...

Basic Quality Tools in Continuous Improvement Process

If organizations wish to achieve continuous quality improvement they need to use appropriate selection of quality tools and techniques. In this paper a review of possibilities of the systematic use of seven basic quality tools (7QC tools) is presented. It is shown that 7QC tools can be used in all process phases, from the beginning of a product development up to management of a production proce...
