You’ve already implemented a process control system on your production processes but you’re not sure you’re measuring everything you should, or getting as much as you could from the data

Maybe you need to put a control system in place, but you’re not sure what to measure?

If you measure the right parameters in the right way, you’ll soon have a thorough understanding of your processes and what you need to do to improve them. What’s more, your improvements will be data driven so you’ll be confident that you’re focusing on the right thing. Once you’ve made those improvements, the measurements you’ve implemented will tell you how much impact they’re having.

This course provides an overall understanding of how to improve processes. Everything everyone does within an organization is part of a process. So invariably if you want to improve what the organization does, then you have to focus on improving the process. By putting your emphasis on the process, you avoid the typical trap that so many business leaders seem to fall prey to – looking to cut costs, they focus on trimming payrolls or pushing people to do more with less. This short-sided approach may get a brief bump in performance. However, in the long run you end up increasing costs, reducing value to the customer, and making it harder for the company to compete.
