Operational Excellence for Service and Contact Centre Operations
Lean and quality tools are often seen as factory methods, yet African service businesses and contact centres carry just as much waste in their processes. This course adapts operational excellence to service settings, tackling handovers, waiting, rework, and variation in customer facing work. Participants learn to map service flows, balance capacity to demand, and improve both speed and quality of service.
