Function Mapping Strategy Objective

 

To increase the overall productivity and quality of all relevant operational functions (products/services).

 

The function mapping strategy is grounded in the following equation:


People Capacity + Process Capacity = Quality of products and services

 
This is referred to as the 3 Ps:

    • People
    • Process
    • Product/Service

Three driving imperatives facilitate improvement in People Capacity and Process Capacity:

    • Engagement
    • Efficiency
    • Effectiveness
