Redefining a process in 14 steps
Article Abstract:
Process improvement focuses on the changes that an organization has to adopt and the extent to which such changes are needed to be effective. The approach begins by ensuring that a process has been selected and leaders are willing to support the improvements that will be undertaken. Logical steps based on accepted quality improvement methods can be pursued once the process for improvement has been identified and the people who would work in the project have been selected. The redefinition variables required include process-scope description and list of performance measures.
