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.)
“But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
