Our Mission

4Improvement provides clients of any size and in any industry with easy-to-use tools that enable their conscious and systematic focus on minimising losses, making significant improvements, and thereby becoming industry leaders.

Our vision

We aim to be our clients' preferred vendor of Continuous Improvement software tools, statistics, analytics, and associated consultancy services.

We are going to achieve this goal by acting with care, dedication, and sincerity towards our clients, and by being accountable for delivering on our commitments.

Our Target Audience

Whether your organisation is a manufacturing company, a service provider, or any other type of business, it will be able to benefit vastly from implementing 4Improvement tools.

We are proud to be serving a number of global industry leaders of various trades already, and we are confident that any business can find new ways of harvesting improvement potential by the use of our solutions.

Our Solutions

Our dedicated software solutions comprise a suite of Continuous Improvement tools based on MS-Excel technology. The methodology implemented by our tools is that of the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM).

Robust and mature

MS-Excel may be widely conceived as a personal rather than an enterprise-grade platform. We respectfully beg to differ. Our solutions have been in development for several years. Each of our tools is today a robust stand-alone application, which is able to cater for the needs of several hundred concurrent users without notable performance degradation.

Integrated and modular

Furthermore, all of our tools are modularly integrated to utilise the same database. This allows any client to implement any subset of our solutions in whatever sequence suitable to the individual business.

Further details

Please see our solutions page for detailed descriptions of our different solutions.

Our analytics

Every tool we offer comes with comprehensive visualisations (graphs, diagrams, etc.) for easy monitoring, data and trend analyses, and following-up on target achievement.

The metrics presented by the various visualisations have been designed to cater to the needs of all stakeholders, from shop floor to board room.

Flexibility ensures relevance 

This allows departments, managers, and process owners across the organisation to focus on their individual KPIs, which provides for a systematic and consistent approach to Continuous Improvement. 

A significant side benefit of using the same dataset throughout the business is the elimination of any discussion about data validity - since everybody basically has access to the same database.

That in itself represents a substantial Loss management leap, cf. our Loss Management Tool.

Our consultancy

Our experience within the fields of Lean, WCM, TPM, TQM or TPS, Kaizen, 5S, and related principles spans more than a decade. We are passionate about Continuous Improvement, and we would only be happy to hear from you, if you are considering renting our expertise for any period of time.

Extracting data

We typically assist clients in extracting data from their current IT systems in order to establish a baseline dataset as a starting point for the implementation of our solutions. In most cases it is desirable to have a permanent database connection for continuously feeding validated production data into our solutions.

Coaching and counselling

Whatever your needs are, and regardless of your current status within e.g. Lean, WCM, TPM, TQM or TPS, Kaizen or 5S you are welcome to contact us. We are confident that we can help you make significant changes for improvement, whether through specific advice on implementation or coaching/sparring.

Tailored or bespoke solutions

Our ability to address the particular needs of individual clients allows us to accept a wide range of challenges and offer dedicated solutions to suit such specific requirements.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you have a specific enquiry.
