Abstract

The theoretical backbone of high-performance process improvement is by nature dynamic. It changes and improves over time to reflect the interaction between the continuous R&D work and the gained practical experience as depicted in the last section of the former chapter (Sect. 1.9, Fig. 1.3). These interactions, which also consider the performance requirements of the improvement efforts, guide the theoretical considerations and restrict the possibility that the theory would lose contact with practice. In this regard, the theory serves as a platform for assuring and raising the ambition level of the practice. Practice without a solid theoretical backbone is hazardous especially when adapting the concepts related to HPPI. Such a critical deficit cannot be fixed by “hands-on” case studies or by practical improvement work. There has to be a logical framework assuring the performance of all improvement activities.
