Define process control and continuous improvement. How are they different?

The definition of “Process Control is the active changing of the process based on the results of process monitoring. Once the process monitoring tools have detected an out-of-control situation, the person responsible for the process makes a change to bring the process back into control.” As to the definition of “Continuous improvement, sometimes called continual improvement, is the ongoing improvement of products, services or processes through incremental and breakthrough improvements.”

The difference on them is that Process Control is actually changing due to someone changing it. This can happen due to who is doing the process of something, for example, a new hire employee is demonstrated to do things one way, but an employee that has been longer in the same position, might have learned how to do a process differently to come with the same outcome. Although it might get out of control in some occasions, this is when you need to retract and go back to the correct way or readjust to make sure something doesn’t turn in total chaos. On the other hand, continuous improvement, is when you are trying to make a process better. Sometimes to make it better depending on the job requirements, you might need more staff, or different technology equipment. There is always ways to improve, even in our life, we are continuously looking for ways to improve.
