Description

Process mapping focuses on business activities and deliverables.  It identifies the resources responsible for each operation and relates process completion to relevant standards or benchmarks.  Ultimately, process mapping helps organizations evaluate operational success. 

In every organization, there are processes that need to be designed, implemented, measured, and improved regardless of industry and environment. In this program, participants will learn about how process mapping is a powerful tool for your organization and will practice mapping processes using relevant examples. Using Lean and Six Sigma tools and principles, participants will understand how process mapping can illustrate the current state and desired future state of an organization. This includes analyzing processes to find process issues, structural problems, poor controls, and people issues while using practical techniques and real-world processes. Getting to the root of the cause aids in quality and timeliness issues where participants can implement their learnings immediately to their own work processes.  

This program not only focuses on the skill set but the mindset. Process mapping will give participants the skills needed to enact real process improvement within their organization. This includes facilitating the mindset required for organizations to enable the buy-in needed for maintaining process improvement gains. Participants will also learn effective strategies to select, organize, and facilitate efforts by overcoming barriers to process improvements.

 This program is part of the Operational Excellence Certificate.
