An essential part of operations management is the capacity to decide how the device is achieving at the placement site and when support vessels are required to perform the operation activities (Maisondieu, Johanning, & Weller, March
theoretical model explaining why process management will impede innovation and empirically tested the relationship in the paint industry. Due to the complexity and dynamisms inherent in management of processes in the operations setting, research on process management remains a challenge in operation management field (Buffa, 1980). Six Sigma mechanistic approaches to improvement are highly prescriptive in mandating how improvement effort should be implemented. The contemporary business environment is most
