In people-centric environments (versus manufacturing), Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) and SOUL are synonymous. Implementing SOUL naturally allows your workforce to become the driving force for all productivity, efficiency and quality improvements within your organization.

The SOUL Difference: Many popular best practice business applications neglect three important factors in their analysis: (1) people being setup to succeed, (2) People being able to handle the unexpected, and (3) People being able to support each other when faced with severe challenges. Best practice business applications have either limited or no metric focus on these people variables. And these variables make or break an organization’s ability to be successful. SOUL’s people focused metrics used in its precision analysis and problem solving changes all of that!

Our CPI approach, based on SOUL, follows the true Kaizen philosophy of empowering the workforce to make changes. It is unequaled in its ease of implementation, detailed analysis approach, speed of getting high ROI results and low cost to set-up. Our CPI solution uses our "intelligent" plug-in modules architecture that upgrades your existing project management software using a plug and play approach. Call for a free demonstration.

"Kaizen" is a term originated by Japanese car manufacturers and means gradual, unending improvement. "Kaizen" implies a behavior adapted by Japanese employees to become the experts in improving productivity and reducing costs on an assembly line. Some industry leaders in Japan consider "Kaizen" to be the economic miracle that allowed Japan to soar in market share in various areas, including motor sales.

Continuous improvement done naturally

Our SOUL based approach follows the "Kaizen" formula by using “Average Performance Range and Index” (APRI) and provides statistical directions, allowing employees to make gradual, continuous improvements during the life cycle of a project or process implementation. Our CPI, SOUL based approach, allows teams to increase productivity and reduce cost on a consistent, continual basis.

Using CPI based on APRI and SOUL, managers transfer ownership and accountability of process improvement, in "Kaizen" style, to the implementation team. The APRI statistical analysis feedback allows teams the freedom to initiate creative solutions to continuously improve productivity and reduce cost during the life cycle of the project or process. Week by week, small, consistent increments of improvements are achieved by the team.

People focused leadership

By using CPI based on APRI and SOUL, a true "Kaizen" behavior is adapted by the implementation team. In industry, many articles and discussions are centered on improving these "Kaizen" like intangible assets of a company in order to achieve the next level in productivity and cost efficiency goals. APRI provides the metrics, structure and information that allows your implementation teams to increase your business’s intangible assets through improved communication, brainstorming and problem solving resulting in consistent and constant increases in business productivity and cost.
