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:
“... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It’s not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I’m able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
“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)
