The Process Improvement Plan (PIP)focuses on how to make operations efficient, and safe, comply with external regulations and safeguard against issues like those caused when Marketing promises earlier delivery dates. For this discussion, recommend you prepare a PIP that includes three (3) sections: background, analysis, and execution. Your analysis should include research on various process improvement methodologies. Also, the execution section should include which of the methodologies you want the staff to implement. Create separate checklists for the department staff to conduct continuous process improvement.
The vendor comparison matrix is a supply chain management tool that should list the various criteria you want the staff to use when comparing vendors, as well as the details on how the staff should determine the value of the criteria. For example, if you include quality as a criterion for comparing vendors, state how quality will be quantitatively measured and the various quality ratings the staff are to assign. You also want to quantify each comparison criterion, so an overall quantitative measure is created for each vendor. This quantitative measure is how you will rank the vendors from best to worst. The vendor comparison matrix goes in the “execution” section.
