Continuous Improvements at Work - a Programme in an Inter-Disciplinary Research Centre on Humans, Technology and Change at Work

Odenrick, Per LU ; Holmberg, Robert LU ; Hägerfors, Ann and Akselsson, Roland LU (1996) Fifth International Symposium on Human Factors in Organizational Design and Management - V p.489-492
Abstract
The aim of this programme is to contribute to the scientific and practical knowledge about continuous improvements (CI) at work. Some of the principles of CI like: the emphasis on small and incremental changes, the use of structured tools for problem-solving and the monitoring of improvements, and the responsibility of operative personnel for the CI activity rather than experts and task-forces, are combined with methods and principles from Scandinavian research about work environments, participation and workteams.
