4.1 Swedwise Improvement Culture

Swedwise embraces a learning organization philosophy where:

Everyone contributes: All employees can identify and implement improvements
Small steps matter: Incremental improvements accumulate into significant gains
Fail fast, learn faster: Experimentation is encouraged; failures are learning opportunities
Data-driven: Decisions based on evidence, not assumptions
Customer-centric: Improvements ultimately serve customer value
Sustainable: Environmental and social responsibility guide improvement choices

4.2 PDCA Cycle (Deming Cycle)

All improvements follow the PDCA methodology:

         ┌──────────────┐
         │     PLAN     │  - Identify opportunity
         │              │  - Analyze current state

6. Improvement Process

6.1 Step 1: Identify Improvement Opportunity

How to Identify:

Anyone can identify an improvement opportunity by observing:

Inefficiencies or waste (time, materials, effort)
Customer pain points or requests
Process bottlenecks or delays
Quality issues or rework
Safety or environmental risks
Employee frustrations or workarounds
Technology that could be better leveraged
Compliance gaps
Competitor advantages

Document Using: Improvement Suggestion Form (SW-IMS-FRM-002)

Required Information:

Field	Description
Submitter	Name of person suggesting improvement
Date	When submitted
Department/Process	Which area would be improved
Current Situation	What's the problem or opportunity?
Proposed Improvement	What's the suggested solution?
Expected Benefits	What would improve? (quality, cost, time, satisfaction, environment, etc.)
Estimated Effort	How much work to implement? (Low/Medium/High)
Priority	Suggested priority (Low/Medium/High)
Supporting Data	Any metrics, photos, examples

Submission:

Submit to IMS Owner via email, form submission, or direct conversation
Can be submitted anonymously if preferred

Acknowledgment:

IMS Owner acknowledges receipt within 3 business days
Assigns Improvement ID (IMP-YYYY-NNN)
Logs in Improvement Register (SW-IMS-REG-005)

6.2 Step 2: Evaluate and Prioritize

Objective: Determine which improvements to pursue and in what order

Initial Screening (IMS Owner):

Quick assessment:

Is it aligned with strategic objectives?
Is it within scope of IMS?
Is it feasible?
Does it duplicate an existing initiative?
Is it better handled as a Corrective Action (if addressing a nonconformity)?

Outcome:

Accept for evaluation: Proceed to detailed assessment
Refer to Corrective Action: If addressing a nonconformity (SW-IMS-PRO-003)
Refer to Management: If strategic or beyond IMS scope
Decline: Not feasible or not aligned (provide rationale to submitter)

Detailed Assessment (for accepted suggestions):

Use Impact-Effort Matrix:

Criteria	Assessment
Impact	Rate 1-5: How much benefit? (customer satisfaction, cost savings, environmental, security, quality)
Effort	Rate 1-5: How much work? (time, cost, resources, complexity)
Alignment	Rate 1-5: How well does it align with strategy?
Urgency	Rate 1-5: How time-sensitive?
Risk	Rate 1-5: What's the risk if we don't do it?

Priority Score = (Impact × 2) + Alignment + Urgency + Risk - Effort

Prioritization Matrix:

       HIGH IMPACT
            │
    ┌───────┼───────┐
    │ PLAN  │ DO    │
    │ (Q2)  │ NOW   │  ← High Impact
    │       │ (Q1)  │     Low Effort
    ├───────┼───────┤     = Quick Wins
    │ LOW   │ MAYBE │
    │ PRI   │ (Q3)  │
    │ (Q4)  │       │
    └───────┼───────┘
            │
       LOW EFFORT → HIGH EFFORT

Quadrants:

Q1 - Do Now (Quick Wins): High impact, low effort → Implement immediately
Q2 - Plan: High impact, high effort → Strategic projects, plan carefully
Q3 - Maybe: Low impact, low effort → Consider if resources available
Q4 - Low Priority: Low impact, high effort → Decline or defer

Decision Authority:

Priority	Approval Required
High (Quick Wins)	Department Head + IMS Owner
Medium	IMS Owner + relevant lead (Quality/Environmental/CISO)
Low	Department Head
Strategic/High Investment	Management Team

Communication:

IMS Owner notifies submitter of decision within 10 business days
If approved: Proceed to Step 3
If deferred: Provide timeline for reconsideration
If declined: Provide clear rationale

6.3 Step 3: Plan Improvement (PLAN)

Objective: Develop a clear, actionable plan for the improvement

Assign Improvement Owner:

Person responsible for leading implementation
Typically: Process owner, subject matter expert, or submitter
Accepts ownership

Develop Improvement Plan:

Element	Description
Objective	What will be achieved? (SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
Current State	Baseline: How do things work now? What are current metrics?
Future State	Target: How will things work after improvement? What will metrics be?
Gap Analysis	What needs to change to get from current to future state?
Solution Design	How will the improvement be implemented? (process changes, tools, training)
Resources	What's needed? (budget, people, tools, time)
Timeline	Key milestones and completion date
Risks	What could go wrong? Mitigation plans?
Success Criteria	How will we measure success?
Stakeholders	Who is affected? Who needs to be involved?
Communication Plan	How will changes be communicated?

Approval:

Improvement Owner presents plan to approver (per 6.2)
Approver reviews and approves, requests changes, or declines
Approved plans logged in Improvement Register with status "Approved - Planning Complete"

6.4 Step 4: Implement Improvement (DO)

Objective: Execute the improvement plan

Implementation Approaches:

Pilot/Small-Scale Test (recommended)

Implement in one team, location, or process first
Test assumptions and refine solution
Reduce risk of large-scale failure
Gather feedback before full rollout

Full Implementation (for low-risk or quick wins)

Implement across entire scope immediately
Appropriate for small changes with proven solutions

Implementation Steps:

Kick Off
- Improvement Owner briefs team
- Roles and responsibilities clarified
- Timeline confirmed
Prepare
- Acquire resources (tools, budget, training materials)
- Update documents (procedures, work instructions) if needed
- Develop training materials
- Set up monitoring/measurement
Execute
- Make the change
- Follow the plan
- Document what's actually done (may differ from plan)
- Address obstacles as they arise
Train and Communicate
- Train affected staff
- Communicate why change is happening and benefits
- Address concerns and questions
- Provide ongoing support
Monitor
- Track implementation progress
- Measure initial results
- Collect feedback from users
- Document issues and resolutions

Status Updates:

Improvement Owner provides status updates to IMS Owner (frequency based on duration: weekly for short projects, bi-weekly/monthly for longer)
Update Improvement Register with progress

6.5 Step 5: Measure Results (CHECK)

Objective: Verify that the improvement achieved its objectives

Wait Period:

Allow sufficient time for improvement to stabilize and show results
Typical: 1-3 months for process improvements, longer for strategic changes

Measure Against Success Criteria:

Compare actual results to targets defined in improvement plan:

Success Criteria	Target	Actual	Met?
Example: Customer satisfaction	+10%	+12%	Yes
Example: Process cycle time	-20%	-25%	Yes
Example: Cost savings	50k SEK/year	45k SEK/year	Partially

Collect Evidence:

Performance data (KPIs from SW-IMS-PRO-006)
Customer feedback
Employee feedback
Cost/time measurements
Quality metrics
Before/after comparisons

Analyze Results:

Ask:

Did we achieve the objective?
What worked well?
What didn't work as expected?
Were there unintended consequences (positive or negative)?
Is the improvement sustainable?
What did we learn?

Document:

Update Improvement Register with results
Create Improvement Completion Report including:
- Objective and what was done
- Results and evidence
- Lessons learned
- Recommendations

6.6 Step 6: Standardize or Refine (ACT)

Objective: Make the improvement permanent or adjust as needed

Decision:

Outcome	Action
Successful	Standardize and spread
Partially Successful	Refine and retry (return to PLAN or DO)
Unsuccessful	Abandon or fundamentally redesign

If Successful - Standardize:

Update Documentation
- Revise procedures, work instructions, guidelines (follow SW-IMS-PRO-001)
- Update training materials
- Update forms/templates if needed
Finalize Training
- Ensure all affected staff trained
- Update onboarding for new hires
- Create job aids or quick references
Embed in Management System
- Update KPIs if needed
- Add to audit checklists
- Include in management review
Spread Best Practices
- Share with other teams/locations if applicable
- Document as best practice
- Present at team meetings or town halls
Close Improvement
- Update Improvement Register: Status = "Closed - Successful"
- Recognize and thank team
- Celebrate success

If Partially Successful - Refine:

Analyze what worked and what didn't
Identify necessary adjustments
Update improvement plan
Return to PLAN or DO phase
Set new target date

If Unsuccessful - Abandon or Redesign:

Document why it didn't work (lessons learned)
Decide:
- Abandon (not worth pursuing further)
- Fundamentally redesign (new approach needed)
Update Improvement Register: Status = "Closed - Unsuccessful" or "Replanning"
Thank team for effort (failure is part of learning)

6.7 Step 7: Verify Sustainability and Continuous Monitoring

Objective: Ensure improvement is sustained over time

Follow-Up Reviews:

3 months after implementation: Quick check - is improvement holding?
6 months after implementation: Deeper review - sustained performance?
Annual: Include in management review and risk assessment

Monitor for Regression:

Watch KPIs for any decline
Audit compliance with updated procedures
Collect feedback periodically

Reinforce:

Refresher training if needed
Recognition of teams maintaining improvement
Address any drift back to old ways
