Checklist
A tool used to ensure that all important steps or actions in an operation have been taken. One of the Basic Seven Tools of Quality.
Check Points and Control Points
Used to measure the progress of improvement-related activities between managerial levels. Check points represent process-oriented criteria. Control points represent results-oriented criteria. Check points and control points are used in policy deployment.
Check Sheet
A simple data-recording device, custom-made by the user, which allows results to be readily interpreted. Not to be confused with a Checklist (see above).
Common Causes
In statistical quality control, the causes of variation inherent in a process over time.
Company Culture
The informal way life is lived and the work is done, based on the values, beliefs, myths and stories played out in the organization. Over time, leaders shape the culture. (See KAIZEN Culture).
Control Chart
A chart with upper and lower control limits within which a machine or process is "in control". Frequently a centerline, midway between the two limits, helps detect trends toward one or the other. Plotting critical measurements on the chart shows when a machine or process has gone "out of control" and must be adjusted. One of the Basic Seven Tools of Quality.
Core Process
The process in a manufacturing or service organization that produces the goods or services for external customers on which the organization depends for its survival.
Cross-Functional Management
The inter-departmental coordination required to realize the strategic and policy goals of KAIZEN and Total Quality Management. Its critical importance lies in the follow-through to achieve goals and measures.
