Assignment:
Write a 1,050 word paper to assess and resolve resistance to process change.

Address the following in your paper:
- Describe the two non-standardized processes selected.
- Explain why the non-standardized process should be standardized to help reduce variation. If you think a non-standardized process is OK to utilize, explain why and how you will control variation.
- Evaluate challenges that the selected organization may face in implementing the identified lean enterprise improvements. For example, examine your DMAIC assignment where you improved a process. What are the barriers to implementing these changes?
- Recommend how your selected organization may resolve resistance to change or overcoming change.
