Process Management
Current Organizational Realities

• Organizations are changing rapidly
• Customer expectations are dramatically increasing while
available internal resources are declining
• Speed is a fact of life
• Few people see organizations as a system of interrelated
pieces; most view organizations functionally
• Cross-functional interdependencies are often exceedingly
complex; over time interactions become obscured
• Often the functional measurement systems compound the
problem and reinforce the wrong behaviors
• The difference between task and process is the difference
between part and whole

Process Management
Dilbert and Six Sigma

• A popular American comic strip written and drawn by Scott
Adams that has run in newspapers since April 1989
• Typical themes
• Bureaucracy
• Scheduling without reference to reality
• Office politics always stand in the way of productivity
• Mismanagement is rampant
• Employees skills and efforts are not rewarded
• Low morale
From Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbert

Process Management
Six Sigma Studies

Recent Six Sigma studies show that organizations have difficulty:
• Engaging senior leadership, management, and employees
• Tying improvement efforts to business strategy
• Tying improvement efforts directly to customer requirements
• Sustaining results from improvement projects
• Transferring knowledge and skills to non-
manufacturing processes
• Identifying where to focus improvement efforts for
highest impact
• Putting knowledge and skills into everyday practice across
the organization

Process Management
Improving Work Processes—Six Sigma

Approaches
1. Think about your job and the tasks that are required of
you; if you were to do all of those tasks and consistently
do them very well, how many hours per week would your
job require?
2. What percentage of your time do you spend doing

someone else’s job because you can’t rely on them to do a
task correctly or within your required time frame?
3. What percentage of your time do you spend on tasks that

are unnecessary or don’t add value?
Six Sigma methods reduce variability,
reduce defects, and add value

Process Management
Improving Work Processes—Lean

Approaches
1. How much junk mail comes across your desk and
computer screen?
2. How much stress and personal aggravation do these

cause? Do you ever carry it home with you?
3. Are you willing to learn and do something about it?
Lean methods reduce waste, reduce imbalance, and

improve problem-solving ability

Process Management
The Process Approach

• The common word between the Six Sigma and Lean
approaches is:
PROCESS
• Process management is the strategic discipline of

documenting and measuring processes to identify
opportunities for improvement

Process Management
The Real Organization
STRATEGY
PROCESS
FUNCTIONS
• Products and services for customers are not produced by functions,
but by processes that tend to cross functional lines
• Some of these processes tend to be the way the customers identify
with the company
• Functions are (or should be) the residence and building place
for competencies
• Process capabilities and competencies are the key leverage points
in order to achieve strategy (the desired state of the organization)

Process Management
Process Management Is the Driver of

Improvement
Improvement
Process
Management
Design
In order to achieve Six Sigma, a business must be excellent at

managing existing processes, improving existing processes, and
designing new processes

Process Management
What Is Process Management?

• Process management refers to the set of tools needed to
document, measure, monitor, and control processes
• It is about ongoing accountability for managing entire cross-
functional processes to satisfy goals
Outcomes
• Provide consistent service to the customer
• Provide direction for improvement activities
• Hold the gains created by improvement activities
• Manage process quality with a link to strategic objectives

Process Management
What Is Process Management?, cont.

How does it relate to improvement and design?
• Process management ends when changes in process effectiveness
or efficiency create the need for improvement or design
• When these are complete, the improved or redesigned processes
re-enter the process management system

Process Management
Process Management as a Strategic

Activity
• The role of process management is to ensure that the key
processes in the organization maintain the level of performance
demanded by the business and by customers
• The activities of process management can be justified only if
they continue to create and maximize value for the customers

When Is Process Management

Appropriate?
• When a Lean and/or Six Sigma infrastructure is in place
• When the full benefits of Six Sigma are not being realized
• When companies are focused primarily on improvement or
design projects and not on strategic transformation

Process Management
Background and Strategy

• Healthcare Resources International (HRI) is a major health
insurance provider for mid- to large-size businesses
• Founded in 1978, HRI has commanded a 25–40% share of their
target market
• Over the past three years, market share has declined below
20%, despite a successful Six Sigma initiative
• The CEO, Harry Wilson, announced the kickoff of process
management as an addition to the overall Six Sigma initiative
• Success will be measured by increased revenue, reduced costs, and
improved customer satisfaction

Process Management
Discussion Questions
1. In what way is process management likely to help HRI?
2. Why should HRI implement process management now?
3. What is the next thing that HRI should do?

Definition of Measures

in the organization
Definition Used To Example

Business and customer Make strategic business Customer
output measures decisions and satisfaction
allocate resources
Process output Assess how well the process is Time to process
measures performing; where improvement quotation
and innovation need to take
place; and how this process
relates to the business and
customer needs
In-process measures Take action on a tactical day-to- Uptime of computer
day level to influence system
process output

Process Management
Linkage Between Measures—A Key

Concept of Six Sigma
key process and input factors

process output is a function of
that cause variation in the output
y = f (x1, x2, …)
• In improvement (DMAIC), we identify the key x’s to
reduce variation in the y
• In design, we carefully set specifications on the x’s so that
we get the desired y
• In process management, we monitor and control the x’s to
assure we will get the desired y

Process Management
What Would You Do Now?

If you are a manager in HRI, what would be some process output
and in-process measures that would allow you to meet the
business and customer output requirements?
