Ideas live on a whiteboard and expire there.

A continuous improvement program lives or dies on whether the floor believes an idea goes anywhere. Ideas live on a whiteboard and expire there, and nobody can say what was implemented this year. Phasis makes each idea a record with an owner and a state.

An operator submits an idea. The continuous improvement coordinator runs the pipeline. The five-why and the actions with owners and dates already exist in Quality and HSE, so this is an assembly of parts the platform has, not a new invention.
