How to measure process improvement
Define what needs to be measured.
That is, define what exactly you mean by improvement. Do you want your process to more reliable, faster, more efficient, or better in some other way? This brings clarity to the project.

OPTIONS:
- Questions for you and your team to ask will vary from project to project. Some people might have a problem measuring simple changes to bigger changes quickly, while others will have a problem measuring full improvement through the product development phase.
- Be sure that your process produces an output that can be measured in some way. For example, a company wanting to improve delivery speed would measure time.
- Ask yourself what's already being measured. Do you want to see how the results will improve over time, or do you want to see how things will continue in some other way? Rate how complete you achieve your goal.
- Consider the following questions : Would your process need to improve in which case would your process be able to run if the project had given a safe upgrade to the equipment or pictures at the end? List strengths and weaknesses. You should include some common strengths that you want to measure improvement.

OUT: Be sure that your process produces an output that can be measured in some way. For example, a company wanting to improve delivery speed would measure time.
