three types of business processes: Management processes, Operational processes, and

business domain (usually relatively stable), business processes (usually more volatile), and
Information technology

 Focused improvement – in Theory of Constraints is the ensemble of activities aimed at elevating
the performance of any system, especially a business system, with respect to its goal by

meanings in different fields, and for Marxist and non-Marxist scholars.
 Futures studies –
 Industrial espionage
 Industry or market research
 Innovation –

 Lean manufacturing – or lean production, which is often known simply as "Lean", is the practice
of a theory of production that considers the expenditure of resources for any means other than
the creation of value for the presumed customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination.
 Level of Effort – (LOE) is qualified as a support type activity which doesn't lend itself to
measurement of a discrete accomplishment. Examples of such an activity may be project budget
accounting, customer liaison, etc.
 Manufacturing –
 Marketing research –
 Motivation – is the set of reasons that determines one to engage in a particular behavior.
 Operations Research – (OR) interdisciplinary branch of applied mathematics and formal science
that uses methods such as mathematical modeling, statistics, and algorithms to arrive at optimal
or near optimal solutions to complex problems.
 Operations, see Business operations
 Organization development – (OD) planned, structured, organization-wide effort to increase the
organization's effectiveness and health.
 Organization – social arrangement which pursues collective goals, which controls its own
performance, and which has a boundary separating it from its environment.
 Poison pill –
 Portfolio in finance is an appropriate mix of or collection of investments held by an institution or a

 Process architecture – structural design of general process systems and applies to fields such
as computers (software, hardware, networks, etc.), business processes (enterprise architecture,

varying degrees of complexity.
 Profit –
 Proport – combination of the unique skills of an organisation's members for collective advantage.
 Quality can mean a high degree of excellence (“a quality product”), a degree of excellence or the
lack of it (“work of average quality”), or a property of something (“the addictive quality of
alcohol”).[1] Distinct from the vernacular, the subject of this article is the business interpretation
of quality.
 Quality, Cost, Delivery(QCD) as used in lean manufacturing, measures a businesses activity and
develops Key performance indicators. QCD analysis often forms a part of continuous
improvement programs
 Reengineering – radical redesign of an organization's processes, especially its business
processes. Rather than organizing a firm into functional specialties (like production, accounting,
marketing, etc.) and considering the tasks that each function performs; complete processes from
materials acquisition, to production, to marketing and distribution should be considered. The firm
should be re-engineered into a series of processes.
 Reverse engineering –
 Risk – is the precise probability of specific eventualities.
 Shareholder value –
 Systems Development Life Cycle – (SDLC) is any logical process used by a systems analyst to
develop an information system, including requirements, validation, training, and user ownership.
An SDLC should result in a high quality system that meets or exceeds customer expectations,
within time and cost estimates, works effectively and efficiently in the current and planned
Information Technology infrastructure, and is cheap to maintain and cost-effective to enhance.[4]
 Systems engineering – is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how complex
engineering projects should be designed and managed.
 Task analysis – is the analysis or a breakdown of exactly how a task is accomplished, such as
what sub-tasks are required
 Timeline – is a graphical representation of a chronological sequence of events, also referred to
as a chronology. It can also mean a schedule of activities, such as a timetable.
 Value engineering – (VE) is a systematic method to improve the "value" of goods and services
by using an examination of function. Value, as defined, is the ratio of function to cost. Value can
therefore be increased by either improving the function or reducing the cost. It is a primary tenet
of value engineering that basic functions be preserved and not be reduced as a consequence of
pursuing value improvements.[5]
 Wideband Delphi – is a consensus-based estimation technique for estimating effort.
