Abstract :
The most powerful way to manage a continuous improvement project still remains invisible to a great deal of companies involved in continuous quality improvement initiatives. It takes more than accepted basics of management by fact, teamwork, and problem solving skills to consistently deliver extraordinary continuous improvement projects. It also takes managing these projects by project management which, when properly implemented, renders that invisible but most powerful way to concert the continuous improvement music. This study investigates the continuous quality improvement practices of organizations regarding their project management experiences
