Process Improvement
Does it seem like you are always fighting fires, managing crises, or getting by with making things incrementally better? If this sounds familiar to you, you may be faced with a systemic issue that can be addressed successfully with the proper training. Process Improvement is a set of measurable techniques that shows any professional how to do work better. The focus of process improvement is to examine and change the ways of doing business so that you, and your organization, work more efficiently. The ideal outcome is that jobs can be done cheaper, quicker, easier, and more successfully on a regular basis.
In this series of workshops, you will learn strategies to better understand the root causes of difficulties and use this knowledge to
- reduce variation,
- remove activities that contribute no value to the product or service produced,
- improve customer satisfaction, and
- alleviate wasteful frustration.
"The more the methodology of Statistical Process Control is hammered home, the easier it is to see profound changes in the work environment."
-Thomas E. Buckley, Process Engineer, Waters Corporation
