The “Rules” of OCM • Continuous improvement (effectiveness) is objective • Improvement requires consistent processes (planning, budgeting, best technology), measurement, documentation and training • The levels are incremental combinations of processes establishment and measurement • Each level builds on that previous via establishing more supportive institutional arrangements. • Current OCM level is based on the row with the lowest score.
