Key IdeaKey Idea
Process management involves planning and administering the activities necessary to achieve a high level of performance in key business processes, and identifying opportunities for improving quality and operational performance, and ultimately, customer satisfaction.
AT&T Process Management Principles
• Focus on end-to-end process• Mindset of prevention and continuous
improvement• Everyone manages a process at some
level and is a customer and a supplier• Customer needs drive the process• Corrective action focuses on root
cause• Process simplification reduces errors
Key IdeaKey Idea
Leading companies identify important business processes throughout the value chain that affect customer satisfaction. These processes typically fall into two categories: value-creation processes and support processes.
Types of ProcessesTypes of Processes
Value-creation processesValue-creation processes – those – those most important to “running the most important to “running the business”business”– Design processesDesign processes – activities that – activities that

Key IdeaKey Idea
Product design can significantly affect the cost of manufacturing (direct and indirect labor, materials, and overhead), redesign, warranty, and field repair; the efficiency by which the product can be manufactured, and the quality of the output.
Design for Design for ManufacturabilityManufacturability
DFMDFM – the process of designing a – the process of designing a product for efficient production at product for efficient production at the highest level of qualitythe highest level of quality
Key IdeaKey Idea
DFM is intended to prevent product designs that simplify assembly operations but require more complex and expensive components, designs that simplify component manufacture while complicating the assembly process, and designs that are simple and inexpensive to produce but difficult or expensive to service or support.

– Design for Environment (DfE)Design for Environment (DfE) - - is the explicit consideration of environmental concerns during the design of products and processes, and includes such practices as designing for recyclability and disassembly.

Designing Processes for Designing Processes for QualityQuality
1. Identify the product or service: What work do I do?
2. Identify the customer: Who is the work for?3. Identify the supplier: What do I need and from
whom do I get it?4. Identify the process: What steps or tasks are
performed? What are the inputs and outputs for each step?
5. Mistake-proof the process: How can I eliminate or simplify tasks? What “poka-yoke” (i.e., mistake-proofing) devices (see Chapter 13) can I use?
6. Develop measurements and controls, and improvement goals: How do I evaluate the process? How can I improve further?

Key IdeaKey Idea
Service process designers must concentrate on doing things right the first time, minimizing process complexities, and making the process immune to inadvertent human errors, particularly during customer interactions.
Projects as Value-Projects as Value-Creation ProcessesCreation Processes
ProjectsProjects - - temporary work structures that start up, produce products or services, and then shut down.
Project management – all activities associated with planning, scheduling, and controlling projects
Key IdeaKey Idea
Successful project managers have four key skills: a bias toward task completion, technical and administrative credibility, interpersonal and political sensitivity, and leadership ability.
Project Life Cycle Project Life Cycle Management Management (1 of 2)(1 of 2)
Project Quality Initiation: Define directions, priorities, limitations, and constraints.
Project Quality Planning: Create a blueprint for the scope of the project and resources needed to accomplish it.
Project Quality Assurance: Use appropriate, qualified processes to meet technical project design specifications.
Project Life Cycle Project Life Cycle Management Management (2 of 2)(2 of 2)
Project Quality Control: Use appropriate communication and management tools to ensure that managerial performance, process improvements, and customer satisfaction is tracked.
Project Quality Closure: Evaluate customer satisfaction with project deliverables and assess success and failures that provide learning for future projects and referrals from satisfied customers.
Process ControlProcess Control
ControlControl – the activity of ensuring – the activity of ensuring conformance to requirements and conformance to requirements and taking corrective action when taking corrective action when necessary to correct problems necessary to correct problems and maintain stable performanceand maintain stable performance
Key IdeaKey Idea
Process control is important for two reasons. First, process control methods are the basis for effective daily management of processes. Second, long-term improvements cannot be made to a process unless the process is first brought under control.
Components of Control Components of Control SystemsSystems
Any control system has three components:
1. a standard or goal, 2. a means of measuring
accomplishment, and 3. comparison of actual results with
the standard, along with feedback to form the basis for corrective action.
Key IdeaKey Idea
In manufacturing, control is usually applied to incoming materials, key processes, and final products and services.
Effective Control SystemsEffective Control Systems
documented procedures for all key processes;
a clear understanding of the appropriate equipment and working environment;
methods for monitoring and controlling critical quality characteristics;
approval processes for equipment; criteria for workmanship, such as written
standards, samples, or illustrations; and maintenance activities.

Importance of Process Importance of Process ImprovementImprovement Customer loyalty is driven by delivered
value. Delivered value is created by business
processes. Sustained success in competitive
markets requires a business to continuously improve delivered value.
To continuously improve value creation ability, a business must continuously improve its value creation processes.
Key IdeaKey Idea
Improvement should be a proactive task of management and be viewed as an opportunity, not simply as a reaction to problems and competitive threats.

FlexibilityFlexibility
Flexibility – the ability to adapt quickly and effectively to changing requirements. – rapid changeover from one product to
another, – rapid response to changing demands, – the ability to produce a wide range of
customized services.
Cycle TimeCycle Time
Cycle time – the time it takes to accomplish one cycle of a process
Reductions in cycle time serve two purposes– First, they speed up work processes so
that customer response is improved. – Second, reductions in cycle time can
only be accomplished by streamlining and simplifying processes to eliminate non-value-added steps such as rework.
Breakthrough Breakthrough Improvement Improvement
Discontinuous change resulting Discontinuous change resulting from innovative and creative from innovative and creative thinking, motivated by stretch thinking, motivated by stretch goals, and facilitated by goals, and facilitated by benchmarking and reengineeringbenchmarking and reengineering
Key IdeaKey Idea
Stretch goals force an organization to think in a radically different way, and to encourage major improvements as well as incremental ones.
BenchmarkingBenchmarking
Benchmarking – “the search of industry best practices that lead to superior performance.”
Best practices – approaches that produce exceptional results, are usually innovative in terms of the use of technology or human resources, and are recognized by customers or industry experts.
Types of BenchmarkingTypes of Benchmarking
Competitive benchmarkingCompetitive benchmarking - studying - studying products, processes, or business performance products, processes, or business performance of competitors in the same industry to of competitors in the same industry to compare pricing, technical quality, features, compare pricing, technical quality, features, and other quality or performance and other quality or performance characteristics of products and services. characteristics of products and services.

Key IdeaKey Idea
Reengineering involves asking basic questions about business processes: Why do we do it? and Why is it done this way?
