What company wouldn’t like to have statistical control of its processes to increase its profitability?
Most businesses do not have a dashboard (with the control tools) that would allow them to access the record of all the activity they generate and allow them to study their processes and improve them to be more efficient and competitive.
More and more companies want to make decisions based on the objective results obtained by process control tools, which through statistics provide accurate information on the performance of their departments and workers.
Let’s start by describing what Statistical Process Control (CEP) is in companies, and then go into the advantages it provides to the companies that have it and how it can help you to make your business more and more profitable.
“It is a quality control tool, based on statistical techniques, used to monitor processes and their variations to make them predictable over time. It helps to make decisions and improve each of the processes in the companies.”
Although there are many advantages that PBXs provide to companies, these are increased when they are optimally incorporated into sales and customer service departments.
For this reason, PBXs that provide business owners with control of all processes are highly desirable, and not all telecommunications companies offer them.
If you already have your own statistical process control and would like to know how to manage it, we at Gesditel have a manual for administrators in which we explain how to manage and control all processes.
