| Omschrijving | The course Process Improvement & Change (PI&C) starts with describing a framework for discussing critically several change and improvement approaches and methods that are applied in the field of operations and supply chains. For each approach we will focus on analysing the ‘how’ of the process improvement approach. The review of several approaches such as Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, and Business Process Reengineering, will reveal gaps, differences and similarities. Furthermore, we will discuss in this course how a diagnosis of the change content and context can be made, and what this diagnosis implies for an improvement plan. A final focus is on the execution of a real-case improvement project. Representatives of companies will introduce their case. Specific topics that will be addressed in this course are the roles of different players in the change processes, the role of performance indicators in the change processes and the input of both customers and suppliers in change processes. | ||||||||
