Conduct a Process improvement paper on the U.S big box store, Target. Consider a process within Target that could be improved. This could be a business process, a manufacturing process, a distribution process, or a service process.
Prepare a recommended process improvement proposal that incorporates tools and methods learned in this course.
Your paper should
• Describe Target and how the selected process fits into the overall framework of the company.
• Create a step-by-step description of the current process incorporating a process flow chart.
• Analyze the current process for inefficiencies.
• Develop a process improvement recommendation including a detailed plan incorporating business process engineering theory and including benchmarking the reengineered process to a close business competitor. The process should be designed to be more efficient, using appropriate tools and methods learned throughout the course, including capacity utilization improvements and statistical quality control models.
• Explain possible challenges in implementing the process changes.
• Assess the expected benefits of the improved process and the potential benefits.
