MODELING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PROCESS QUALITY ERRORS AND OVERALL SERVICE PROCESS PERFORMANCE

Describes research which continues the quest to model performance using structural equation models. The objective is to provide meaningful and substantively interpretable predictions of process performance using structural equation modelling. Develops structural equation models which clearly define the performance relationships for a backroom bank card remittance process using criteria such as process quality errors, employee turnover rates, labour productivity on-time delivery, and unit cost Also defines the idea of a process quality equilibrium point (error rate) using Structural equation modelling, and investigates how to use these structural equation models to help set internal and external standards of performance.
