Process Evaluation and Improvement would be love to work with you to detail your process. This can be also be accomplished as a part of one of our other problem solving tools, like business process analysis or a kaizen event. Please contact us at peiadmins@kent.edu and we can discuss how process mapping can help you and your department.
