For Continuous Improvement to be a continuous process, it must be continuously fed an input to be improved. Input Selection is therefore part of the cycle and to make it more confusing, the input can be the Continuous Improvement process itself. It doesn't really matter what progress was made, but more when to decide that the process isn't working as efficient as it should.
