 abstract={<p>
 The purpose of the paper is to present the author&#8217;s reflections on the 
 origin and popularity
 </p>
 <p>
 of various approaches to maintenance and improvement of production 
 processes, their
 </p>
 <p>
 terminological consistency, understanding, and practical application of 
 their principles. The
 </p>
 <p>
 author&#8217;s reflections are based on his observations made over his many 
 years of activity as
 </p>
 <p>
 a lecturer and consultant in the area of production engineering and 
 management. It was
 </p>
 <p>
 shown that there is a need to make scientists and practitioners aware of 
 the relatively large
 </p>
 <p>
 degree of freedom in defining the scope and way of application of 
 strategies of continuous
 </p>
 <p>
 improvement. The author&#8217;s proposal is to refer to all approaches to 
 maintenance and improvement
 </p>
 <p>
 of production processes with the title &#8220;Strategies of Efficient Action&#8221; 
 and all
 </p>
 <p>
 supporting methods as &#8220;Practices of Efficient Action&#8221;.
 </p>
 <p>
 Considerations presented in the paper can be useful in more and more 
 efficiently applying
 </p>
 <p>
 the power of TQM, Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing and other strategies of 
 processes
 </p>
 <p>
 maintenance and improvement in the daily activities of companies.
