Continuous
Improvement
1
What are the methods of implementing
continuous improvement in field engineering
work processes?
2
PURPOSE
This instruction outlines the
method
of
implementing
continuous improvement in
field
engineering
work
processes.
SCOPE
This instruction is applicable
to all projects under the
administrative control of
Construction Division.
3
Continuous Improvement is the process used to
measure, evaluate, and improve existing work
processes.
Continuous Improvement Coaches (CI Coaches)
CI Coaches are personnel who have received
training in the implementation of continuous
improvement techniques and assist work teams in
improving their work processes.
4
Project Field Engineer (PFE)
The PFE is responsible for integrating continuous
improvement into the implementation of field engineering
work processes on the project.
Field Engineering Manager
The Field Engineering Manager shall evaluate project
lessons learned reports submitted by project teams. The
Field Engineering Manager will post those reports
containing
significant
work
process
improvement
opportunities on the TITWeb for general usage and will
incorporate these reports into corporate manuals and
standards as appropriate.
5
Continuous Improvement is not a special program and is
not implemented as a rigorous procedure at project sites.
Rather, it is be integrated into the measurement and
evaluation of all project work activities and is focused on
improving those work processes.
6
At the construction site, the PFE is responsible for
continuously improving the field engineering work processes
on the project. To do this, the PFE should:
a. Identify the CI Coaches
on the project and use them
to support improvement
efforts
b. Support open and free
communications with all
members of the project
team
c. Recognize team
accomplishments
7
d.
Identify
improvement
metrics
and
efforts
track
using
e. Actively facilitate work
process improvement teams.
f. Capture and record project
lessons learned throughout the
life of the project and submit
formal lessons learned reports
to
the
Field
Engineering
Manager for evaluation.
Standard report format is shown
in Exhibit F1.2-1.
