SYSTEMATIC CONTROL OF PRRS IN PIGS IN A FARROW TO FINISH FARM USING PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

摘要

Deming defined Process Improvement as "a way of thinking and doing that focuses on improving the underlying processes of a system, rather than the outcomes that result from the processes". Unfortunately, Process Improvement has been misunderstood andmisapplied, confusing its value and potential applications. This lack of understanding has led to false starts, unrealistic expectations and, eventually, disillusionment and rejection of the whole concept. Process Improvement is a system of measurement,defining results vs. rational expectations, drawing out processes, and implementing the PDSA cycle. Conventional management systems may contain portions of the Process Improvement system, but lack statistical methods for comparing data and comparing production vs. targets, and have no allowance for defining and improving systems as the method of improving performance.
