A Look at “Focus on the Process”

by Ken Snyder

“Focus on the Process” is a principle in the Continuous Improvement dimension of the Shingo Model. This principle holds the distinction of being the only principle about which no one has suggested an improvement. This is a sign of what we have witnessed numerous times – it is a principle that is so evident that everyone seems to understand instinctively. There will be no changes to this principle as we consider an improved set of principles.

This creates an opportunity to reflect on all the different ways we consider “Focus on Process” to be such an important and well-understood principle. Note that many of these reasons are integrated with other principles in the Shingo Model.
