Process Management An organization's ability to deliver its products and services depends on both its people and its processes. Processes that are well-defined, consistent and repeatable produce higher levels of quality and productivity. The Kaslen Group can assist you in defining or improving your processes by focusing on the key components: inputs, value-added tasks, check/review tasks, outputs/deliverables, standards, controls, tools, techniques and roles/responsibilities. We use proven methods to define incremental or breakthrough process improvements, depending on your organization's readiness for change. We assist in process implementation planning and deployment activities to ensure that your newly defined or improved process becomes a successful part of your organization.
