Management Process Improvement Paper
Select a company with which you are familiar, preferably one where you have been employed, and consider a process within that company that could be improved. This could be a business process, a manufacturing process, a distribution process, or a service process that you have observed or been involved with during your career. Prepare a recommended process improvement proposal that incorporates tools and methods learned in this course.
Your paper should:
** Describe the company and how the selected process fits into the overall framework of the company.
** Create a step-by-step description of the current process incorporating a process flow chart.
** Analyze the current process for inefficiencies.
** Develop a process improvement recommendation including a detailed plan incorporating business process engineering theory and including benchmarking the reengineered process to a close business competitor. The process should be designed to be more efficient, using appropriate tools and methods learned throughout the course, including capacity utilization improvements and statistical quality control models.
** Explain possible challenges in implementing the process changes.
** Assess the expected benefits of the improved process and the potential benefits.
