Description: junpo-40 The Basics of Process Improvement Product Description Unlike other books that promote a specific process and performance improvement discipline, this book shows organizations how to achieve success by fixing basic operational issues and problems using a broad and wide-sweeping process-based toolkit. In addition, it helps individuals who have worked in stale- or siloed-thinking enterprises make the transition to a process or improvement-oriented culture and teaches those who are unfamiliar with process tools to look at their work with a new lens and adopt a continuous improvement and analytical-thinking mindset. The authors have successfully used the various methods, tools, and concepts found in this book to overcome practical, daily problems at various organizations. This book will surely help operators, managers, practitioners, and executives, who are charged with improving processes and workplace culture, produce better products and services. Review "The difference between good and great is not quality or productivity, it is the way you run your processes. If you follow these suggestions about basic process improvement, you will maximize the value of your output to all stakeholders. This book embodies the fundamentals and reminds us all of the key techniques for success." ―H. James Harrington, prolific author of more than 35 process improvement books, CEO, Harrington Institute "Every journey begins with a first step, and the path to better work process is no different. The Basics of Process Improvement gives the beginning practitioner all the tools needed to start their path towards a better way. Every step in your journey will be enhanced by the practical insights and proven approaches offered inside. Now get on your way!" ―Rich Sheridan, author of Joy, Inc.: How We Built a Workplace People Love; CEO, chief storyteller, Menlo Innovations "Some people use the phrase "Keep it simple stupid" (KISS), but there’s nothing stupid about keeping things simple! Simplicity looks easy. It’s not. It’s much easier to complicate than simplify. Simplicity helps strip away the irrelevance in your work; it will have no waste, no weakness and no flaws―this is the beauty of simplicity. It could enable you to permanently and radically change the world, but starting with your own organization and its processes would be a good first step! That’s where this book comes into play, providing a message for managers to take responsibility for making their processes much simpler, both for their employees and the customers." ―John Morgan, author of The Lean Six Sigma Improvement Journey, Go Lean, Lean Six Sigma for Dummies, and Lean Six Sigma Business Transformation for Dummies "Cardella and Boutros have captured the fundamentals of process improvement in an easy-to-read and relatable book. With deep roots in formal methodology, they refresh us with the simplicity of applied improvement principles for both novice and expert while keeping true to success with focus on pragmatic delivery and real-life application. An excellent reference book for all." ―Tim Purdie, coauthor of The Process Improvement Handbook "Process improvement remains at the heart of business success in the best of economic times and has even greater importance in the face of economic uncertainty and the digital age. If you want to know the best way to do it, don’t forget the basics. The examples in this book will certainly start your creative juices flowing and help your organization transform and mature." ―Peter Fingar, author of The Insiders’ Guide to BPM: 7 Steps to Process Mastery and Business Process Management (BPM): The Next Wave "Tristan and Jen’s new book, The Basics of Process Improvement, is a refreshing and long-overdue publication that is certainly going to be welcomed by many business readers.
