Enterprise Process Mapping: Integrating Systems For Compliance And Business Excellence

Many books on process mapping are oriented around a traditional manufacturing process control environment. The methodology and tools in this book are applicable to any company in any industry that is interested in developing a much more integrated, systems approach to management to dramatically improve their business. The author's previous book, From Quality to Business Excellence: A Systems Approach to Management, explains the philosophy behind this approach. This book provides the "how to" for achieving that level of visualization with a unique combination of theory and tools showing you how to implement enterprise process mapping in a way that will yield significant business value for your organization.

This book includes a free evaluation copy of Microsoft Visio and a free evaluation copy of the ProcessMaps tool for enterprise process mapping, as well as computer-based training on how to use these tools.
