Describe several processes in the case study that will benefit from improvement. A candidate process worksheet and a case study is attached. The candidate process worksheet needs to be filled out. When contemplating processes in the case study, consider these criteria:
- Identify processes that already exist, not those being created or revised.
- Identify processes that one can personally evaluate and impact within the relatively short duration of time, say about 6 weeks.
- Describe each process in terms of the following: (This is for the candidate process worksheet)
1. Importance to the organization.
2. Scope, the breadth of its reach.
3. Parties involved, including internal and external suppliers, and customers
4. Priority, the timeliness or urgency.
5. Overall impact or benefits of improvement to the organization.
6. Costs to the organization if the process is not improved.
