A3

The A3 can be used at the start of your improvement for planning, and also as you start to implement your improvement and when you are reviewing the outcomes of your improvement.

What is an A3?
As the name suggests the A3 is linked to its size – an ideal size to visually capture information about your improvement initiative.

An A3 is a visual tool to focus on:
  • What is the improvement you want to make?
  • What is the system to be improved?
  • Who will it involve?
  • When – the timeframe to accomplish the aim?
  • Where – all areas/one area?
  • Impact – specific measurable goals/targets?

Further guidance on how to complete the A3 can be found below.

The A3 is a ‘living’ document so will be updated for the life of the improvement initiative. If the improvement is a big initiative it may be that the improvement is split into a number of improvement projects, in this case, as lower level improvements are identified, an A3 would be completed for each. Therefore one project may have a number of A3 improvement sheets linked to it.
