Idea Generation Techniques for Quality Improvement

Abstract

Idea generation is central to many quality improvement methods and techniques but examination of that part of the quality literature which relates to problem‐solving improvement shows a remarkable concentration on just one technique‐brainstorming. Examines the drawbacks of brainstorming and puts forward two further idea‐generation techniques which the author has found particularly useful in the context of quality problem solving.
