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:
“If thinking is like perceiving, it must be either a process in which the soul is acted upon by what is capable of being thought, or a process different from but analogous to that. The thinking part of the soul must therefore be, while impassable, capable of receiving the form of an object; that is, must be potentially identical in character with its object without being the object. Mind must be related to what is thinkable, as sense is to what is sensible.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“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)
