PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Most workers are so busy trying to complete their jobs that they don’t have time to look at the “big picture”;
... they can't evaluate the efficiency and productivity of their actions.
 
So, things get done “…the way we always did it.”
 
  • Many business activities eat up time, energy, and resources but add little or no value for the customer.
  • Process Improvement techniques focus on identifying and streamlining these non-value-adding activities
.
                     The results are reduced costs, speedier service, and products that meet customers' expectations.
 
 
 A process is a series of related activities performed to achieve a particular result.

 Considerations for achieving efficient &

 effective work processes include:

 

• Effective process design                

 

• Efficient operational performance

 

• Linkage to customers, suppliers, & partners

 

• Focus on value creation    • Evaluation & measurement    

 

• Cycle time reduction        • Cost reduction

 

• Continuous improvement
