CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME. To be read in conjunction with Appendix B Consultation. Introducing continuous improvement recognises that there is always a better way. The continuous improvement concept aims to improve the business performance by applying the following three basic principles: - Focus on the customer - Understand the process (where a process is the combination of a group of inputs to produce a desired output or result) - Involve people The concept involves a systematic approach to: - Planning the processes and their inputs - Providing the inputs - Operating the processes - Evaluating the outputs - Examining the performance of the process - Modifying the process and their inputs This system is tied to a continuous assessment of customer needs, and depends on a flow of ideas on how to make improvements, reduce variation and generate greater customer satisfaction. The continuous improvement cycle aims to ensure that the organisation learns from results, standardise what it does well and improves operations and outputs from what it learns. The aim is to do this in a planned, systematic and conscientious way to create a better organisation. A commitment to continuous improvement from management is an essential requirement.

  • Substantial Completion “Substantial Completion” means the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work, or designated portions thereof, may still require minor modifications or adjustments but, in the Owner’s opinion, the Work has progressed to the point such that all parts of the Work under consideration are fully operational and usable for intended purposes, as evidenced by a Certificate of Substantial Completion approved by the Owner. If a Certificate of Occupancy is required by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work, said certificate shall be issued before the Work or any portion thereof is considered substantially complete. When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall notify Owner’s Designated Representative (sometimes referred to as the “ODR”) and request a determination as to whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the ODR does not consider the Work substantially complete, the ODR will notify the Contractor giving reasons therefore. Failure on the Owner’s part to list a reason does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After satisfactorily completing items identified by Owner’s Designated Representative, the Contractor shall then submit another request for the ODR to determine Substantial Completion. If The ODR considers the Work substantially complete, The ODR will prepare and deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall include a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final completion and final payment, shall establish the time within which the Contractor shall finish the punch list, and shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, warranty and insurance. Failure to include an item on the punch list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The certificate of Substantial Completion shall be signed by the Owner and the Contractor to evidence acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate. Substantial Completion (as defined in this agreement) for all stages of the Work shall be achieved on or before the following Substantial Completion date: DATE FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION: TBD Under no circumstances will the time for Substantial Completion exceed this date without a written amendment to this Agreement. THE TIMES SET FORTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT. TIME LIMITS STATED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS ARE OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

  • Initial Improvements It is currently contemplated that Tenant will construct prior to September 1, 2003, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, one or more Buildings, and all on and off site work, including landscaping (collectively referred to as "Initial Improvements"). The Initial Improvements, if constructed, shall in all events comply with the requirements of the PCP Permit ultimately issued by the City of Mountain View ("PCP"). Landlord hereby approves, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant's construction of the Initial Improvements so long as the exterior components thereof are generally in conformity with the PCP as such PCP is ultimately issued by the City of Mountain View. If Tenant desires to make any material changes to the exterior design of the Initial Improvements, then prior to submitting any application for amendment of the PCP to the City of Mountain View, Tenant shall deliver such proposed amendment to Landlord for Landlord's review and approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such disapproval must be in writing stating with particularity the reasons for such disapproval and the actions Tenant may take to modify such proposal in a manner that Landlord would approve. Landlord's failure to deliver such written disapproval within five (5) business days after Tenant has delivered such request for approval to Landlord shall be deemed Landlord's approval of such proposed amendment to the PCP. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant as reasonably requested by Tenant with respect to any required governmental approvals, including, without limitation, any application for amendment of the PCP, in connection with the Initial Improvements, including the signing of any reasonable applications or requests which are required to be signed by the owner of the Project in order to obtain required approvals, provided that Landlord shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses or liability in connection therewith. Without limiting Landlord's discretion concerning its approval rights as to any amendments to the PCP that Tenant may reasonably request, the parties agree that (i) Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, design or seek governmental approvals to construct more than 120,000 square feet of floor area (calculated as square footage is calculated by the City of Mountain View pursuant to the City of Mountain View Shoreline West Precise Plan) within the Initial Improvements, and (ii) the general design of the Initial Improvements shall be reasonably compatible, as reasonably determined by Landlord, with the design of the buildings to be constructed on the 13.48 acre parcel of property located on the opposite side of Amphitheater Parkway from the Project. Promptly following completion of the Initial Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as built drawings thereof on original sepia drawn to 1/8" scale, prepared at Tenant's sole cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to substantially complete construction of the Initial Improvements on or before September 1, 2003, then Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant delivered at any time after such date and prior to substantial completion of the Initial Improvements, elect to terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective ninety (90) days following the date of delivery of such written notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Tenant substantially completes the construction of the Initial Improvements prior to the expiration of such ninety-day period, then such termination notice shall be deemed rescinded, and (ii) if Tenant delivers to Landlord an Exercise Notice of the Purchase Option to purchase the Premises as contemplated in Paragraph 34 of this Lease, prior to the expiration of such 90-day period, then such termination notice shall be deemed suspended until the date upon which the closing pursuant to the Purchase Option is scheduled to occur under the terms of this Lease. If Tenant thereafter fails to perform its obligations under the Purchase Option after Tenant's delivery of the Exercise Notice for any reason other than Landlord's failure to perform its obligations with respect to the Purchase Option, then the termination notice earlier delivered to Tenant by Landlord shall be deemed reinstated, effective as of the business day following the scheduled date for such closing which did not occur.
