COST IMPROVEMENT & QIPP

Driving through greater efficiency whilst maintaining or improving quality, safety and experience.

The challenges of driving through greater efficiencies whilst also maintaining a commitment to improving quality is one facing the private not for profit and public sectors. Drawing up, planning, monitoring and evaluating robust Cost Improvement Plans (CIP) and Quality Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) plans can be daunting.
