Generally projects require 8 to 10 meetings. Teams meet one and a half to two hours per week using the CQI Team Process. After solutions are implemented, the team will continue to maintain the process performance measure. The Facilitator may or may not continue involvement with the team as determined by the team Leader and CQI coordinator. Each team studies a critical process in detail, collects information from customers, and gathers data for the purpose of improving the quality of the critical process.
Teams are the basis empowerment and problem solving.
They meet on a regular basis to study how to improve the process. A process is a flow of work that progresses from one person or one activity to another. A critical process is an important process, defined by customer need, that links to the mission of an organization. The sponsor will ask the team to study a specific critical process. The Team Leader is usually the supervisor responsible for the performance of the selected critical process.
