Process innovation process attribute

Process attribute scope

The process innovation process attribute is a measure of the extent to which changes to the process are identified from investigations of innovative approaches to the definition and deployment of the process.

Process attribute achievements

1) Process innovation objectives are defined that support the relevant business goals.

2) Quantitative data are analyzed to identify opportunities for innovation.

3) Innovation opportunities derived from new technologies and process concepts are identified.

Generic practices

GP 5.1.1 Define the process innovation objectives for the process that support the relevant business goals.

New business visions and goals are analyzed to give guidance for new process objectives and potential areas of process innovation.

Quantitative and qualitative process innovation objectives are defined and documented.

GP 5.1.2 Analyze quantitative data of the process.

Common causes of variation in process performance are identified and analyzed to get a quantitative understanding of their impact.

GP 5.1.3 Identify innovation opportunities.

Identify opportunities for innovation based on the quantitative understanding of the analyzed data.

Industry best practices, new technologies and process concepts are identified and evaluated. Feedback on opportunities for innovation is actively sought.

Emergent risks are considered in evaluating improvement opportunities.

Process innovation implementation process attribute

Process attribute scope

The process innovation process implementation attribute is a measure of the extent to which changes to the definition, management and performance of the process achieves the relevant process innovation objectives.

Process attribute achievements

1) Impact of all proposed changes is assessed against the objectives of the defined process and standard process.

2) Implementation of all agreed changes is managed to ensure that any disruption to the process performance is understood and acted upon.

3) Effectiveness of process change on the basis of quantitative performance and innovation feedback.

Generic practices

GP 5.2.1 Define, and assess the impact of, proposed changes.

Specified changes are assessed against product quality and process performance requirements and goals.

Impact of changes to other defined and standard processes is considered. Objective priorities for process innovation are established.

Commitment to innovation is demonstrated by organizational management including other relevant stakeholders.

GP 5.2.2. Implement agreed process changes.

A mechanism is established for incorporating accepted changes into the defined and standard process(es) effectively and completely.

Process changes are implemented and effectively communicated to all affected parties.

GP 5.2.3 Evaluate the effectiveness of process change.

Performance and capability of the changed process are measured and compared with historical data.

Performance and capability of the changed process are analyzed to determine whether the process performance has improved with respect to common causes of variations.

Other feedback is recorded, such as opportunities for further innovation of the standard process.

A mechanism is available for documenting and reporting analysis results to stakeholders of standard and defined process.
