Process Phases
Because of the blend of different methodologies that have specific phases within their processes Business Excellence drives results through four well defined phases:
- Discover/Define
- Measure/Analyze
- Create/Optimize/Improve
- Monitor/Control
Those phases evolve continuously within the ever-growing organization, driving constant monitoring, optimization and re-evaluation and fit together with the Six Sigma core process named DMAIC or the improvement circle named PDCA which can also be found in ISO 9001.

Famous quotes containing the words process and/or phases:
“The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner’s visit to Congress—these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous, and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“That man is to be pitied who cannot enjoy social intercourse without eating and drinking. The lowest orders, it is true, cannot imagine a cheerful assembly without the attractions of the table, and this reflection alone should induce all who aim at intellectual culture to endeavor to avoid placing the choicest phases of social life on such a basis.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
