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:
“I’m not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“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)
