The aim
An introduction to process management.
About the program
Every organization has processes; a series of operations changing one thing (a product or service) into another.
Achieving 100 per cent quality first time, every time requires everyone in the process treating the next person in the line as an internal customer. They should then discover their internal customer's requirements - and how to meet them.
This is Process Management, the approach explored by Dwight (Andrew Sachs). It demands 100 per cent commitment from everyone in an organization; but it repays effort in both improved productivity and job satisfaction.
The video makes the point that it is the responsibility of managers to act as process 'owners', maintaining the links with all the people in the process chain.
Of course, there are less ideal ways to approach quality. Dwight uses two examples - one where the process management approach is needlessly complicated - to make his point.
Dwight concludes that quality is not confined to products and services, it's the way that organizations work.
