“Process improvement” means to make things better. The best way to improve the contract management process is to identify the root cause of an issue and think of ways to correct it. This may not be an easy fix. Most of the time process improvement involves analysis of why events occur with a certain result. This requires an examination of all of the factors impacting the process: the resources used in the process, the methods and tools used, the roles and responsibilities of those on the contract team, and the people performing the work.
This examination produces key learnings as to what causes things to happen in a process. Once the negative or undesirable activities are identified, this knowledge can be used to reduce variation or inconsistency, eliminate and remove redundant activities that offer no additional value to the process, and then realize a greater return and improved efficiency.
“Process improvement” encompasses both a global and microscopic view of seeing how a team can do its work better, which means increased productivity and reduction of most of these expenses.
