“Much of the field of quality focuses on the unrelenting reduction of variation that is then documented and established as standard process or practice. Duffy and Van Nuland are visionaries in identifyingthe critical need to reduce the variation that exists globally for companies trying to consistently establish Best Practices and for developing their “BEST” tool. This tool has the potential to becomethe global standard for the way Best Practices are developed and compared, elevating the effective ness of this practice by an order of magnitude.” Bruce DeRuntz, PhD, FASQ, College of Engineering, Southern Illinois University, Director of SIU’s Leadership Development Program“This book is well written and much needed for organizations to assess and improve their processes. The BEST-method enables organizations to assess whether their processes contain the criticalelements that provide a good and ultimately BEST practice. This method helps users to identify key resources to enable process management and improvement, as well as connecting to the organization’s strategies. No matter what industry or type of process is being evaluated, the BEST method can be effectively used. It provides an innovative approach to truly assess a BEST practice, encouragingprocess, results, enablers, and formats.” Dr. Sandy Furterer, PhD, FASQ, CMQ/OE, LSSMBB, Associate Professor and Associate, Chair at the University of Dayton in the Department of Engineering Management, Systemsand Technology
