Usage Mode Description
Internal
Process
Improvement
Organizations use appraisals to appraise internal processes, generally to
either baseline their capability/maturity level(s), to establish or update a
process improvement program, or to measure progress in implementing such
a program. Applications include measuring process improvement progress,
conducting process audits, focusing on speci?¬?c domains or product lines,
appraising speci?¬?c parts of the organization, and preparing for external
customer-led appraisals. In this manner, SCAMPI A appraisals supplement
other tools for implementing process improvement activities.
Supplier
Selection
Appraisal results are used as a high-value discriminator to select suppliers.
The results are used in characterizing the process-related risk of awarding a
contract to a supplier. The appraisal results are typically only one criterion
among many used to select suppliers. Results are often used as a baseline in
subsequent process monitoring with the selected supplier.
