Process Leaning
內容大綱
Process Mapping & Management, written by Sue Conger of the University of Dallas, is a 10-chapter book published by Business Expert Press. The book comprises three sections: Process mapping mechanics, process improvement analysis, and process redesign and justification. Written for executives and graduate students, the text offers practical techniques for simplifying and improving business processes that are immediately actionable. The improvement analysis is based on lean six sigma techniques and discusses leaning for the removal of process waste, cleaning for improving the remaining steps, and greening for evaluating methods that either automate or off-load work. A call-center case study runs through the book to illustrate many of the techniques. In Chapter 6, the author examines the objective of eliminating process steps that do not contribute to organization profit or customer satisfaction. The first technique, value-added analysis, evaluates a process and "leans" out superfluous activities in preparation for developing proposed changes. Next, she evaluates how to improve processes by eliminating defects and variations from processes. Finally, she introduces quality function deployment (QFD) as a tool to help in identifying and choosing between means for making changes.
