Continuous Improvement Frameworks for IT Operations: From Tesco to HCL Practices

Abstract

This manuscript explores the evolution and application of Continuous Improvement (CI) frameworks within IT operations, focusing on two prominent organizations: Tesco and HCL Technologies. By examining case studies from these companies, the paper highlights the methodologies, outcomes, and lessons learned in implementing CI strategies. The study underscores the significance of frameworks like Lean, Six Sigma, and the PDCA cycle in enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation in IT environments.
