1 What is quality in business processes?
Quality in business processes is the degree to which they meet or exceed the expectations and requirements of the customers, stakeholders, and regulators. Quality can be measured by various criteria, such as accuracy, timeliness, cost, customer satisfaction, and compliance. Accuracy is determined by how well the process outputs match the specifications and standards. Timeliness is assessed by how quickly the process delivers the outputs to customers or the next process. Cost looks at how much the process consumes in terms of resources, time, and money. Customer satisfaction measures how happy customers are with the process outputs and their overall experience. Compliance evaluates how well the process follows the rules and regulations of the industry or organization.

The Quality of the processes in a business is measured by the effectiveness of their compliance, where these can be represented in KPIs or OKRs, where efficiency is synonymous with continuous improvement in the business... money is the consequence of achieving well-planned and well-understood objectives.

See AlsoSteam Quality vs Steam Puritykey process indicators reflect the health of your organization. HIGH internal rejection rates , HIGH cost of quality , HIGH employee turnover etc reflect negative trends within an organization and require action to pivot that direction. Ensuring these negative trends are addressed will foster a culture of continual improvement and employee / customer trust.

Measuring quality at the Organizational level (all areas and/or processes) is essential to know where the organization stands, to know if today's actions take us or bring us closer to the business vision. There is an old saying, "if you don't control your process, you won't be able to measure it... and if you don't measure it, you won't improve it."

Measuring quality means we need to have a Quality objective and quantifiable data. A Matrix of Quality objective can help us to easily measured the indicators of quality. It should have objective, key areas, frequency, targets, actions and especially the monitoring column. It should be audited monthly or quarterly whichever is applicable

Numerous matrices are available to measure the quality performance of an organization. For instance, if you are interested in measuring customer satisfaction, you can use the KANO model. Similarly, for evaluating the production process, you can rely on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery, defect rates, and process cycle time.The selection of specific metrics and methods should be based on factors such as the industry type, the nature of your processes, and your business objectives.

5 How do you improve quality in your business processes?
Improving quality in your business processes is an ongoing and iterative process that requires commitment and collaboration from all the people involved. To guide your improvement efforts, you can use a structured approach such as the PDCA cycle. This cycle consists of four phases: planning, doing, checking, and acting. In the planning phase, you define the problem, analyze the current situation, and plan the improvement actions and initiatives. The doing phase involves implementing the improvement actions and initiatives and testing their results. The checking phase involves measuring and evaluating the results and comparing them with the goals and objectives. Finally, in the acting phase, you standardize the successful improvement actions and initiatives and apply them to other processes. You also identify and address any remaining gaps or issues.
