PIM.3.BP5 Plan process changes
(
)
Consequent changes to the process are defined and planned. NOTE 6: Process changes may only be possible if the complete supply chain improves (all relevant parties). NOTE 7: Traditionally process changes are mostly applied to new projects. Within the automotive industry, changes could be implemented per project phase (e.g. product sample phases A, B, C), yielding a higher improvement rate. Also, the principle of low hanging fruit (that is implementing easy improvements first) may be considered when planning process changes. NOTE 8: Improvements may be planned in continuous incremental small steps. Also, improvements are usually piloted before roll out at the organization.
