Process
Mapping is
a workshop designed to take natural work teams through a structured
process improvement methodology that works particularly well in service
areas. This methodology takes a
holistic approach to process improvement, in that individual problems
are not worked on in isolation from the entire process.
Understanding the process flow and how to improve it are
emphasized. The teams will work on their own processes during breakout sessions.
Participants
Active area teams
charged with the improvement, redesign, and monitoring of their work
processes.
