Process Improvement and Measurement

Most process improvement professionals fight a constant tide of challenges: from budget constraints at the top to employees on the front lines who are reluctant to change. At APQC, our sole purpose is to help organizations work smarter and faster.

What excites me most about my work at APQC is working hand in hand with organizations and seeing them adopt these practices, apply them and really get the results.

Jeff Varney
Senior adviser, process improvement

 

Supply Chain Management

With much of an organization’s costs tied up in its supply chain, the stakes are high when it comes to decision making, and there’s no time to waste. Are inventory turns at acceptable levels? What is the supply chain’s impact on cash flow? Should you outsource? What will the cycle time impact be?  APQC's business research can help.

While there are a number of companies who offer expertise in the supply chain area, APQC is unique in that we have the data to back up our knowledge.
