Assessing the cost and benefits of any process is just as important as correctly identifying and resolving issues. A successful process is difficult to sell if the appropriate cost and benefits are not clear to all stakeholders. Often, these consist of qualitative and quantitative factors, which should be included in the process improvement plan. The objective of process improvements may be to improve the cost, quality, capacity, inventory, or timeliness of the output. It may also be to make the process more flexible, allowing entirely new outputs to be made (Gray & Leonard, 2009).
