Improvement Register
Overview
An improvement register is a system used to track and document suggested improvements to a process, product, or service, and any action taken in response to the suggestion. By keeping track of suggested improvements, an improvement register can help ensure that no good ideas are lost and can also provide a useful record for future reference and analysis.
