The basic philosophy of continuous improvement is that organization members should never be satisfied with current performance and must constantly strive to improve processes, products, and services. Performance management, performance appraisal, supply chain analysis, and human resources management may also focus on improvement, but they do not embody the continuous and ongoing philosophy that characterizes continuous improvement.
