In recent years, IT (Information Technology) staffs in the corporation have become more and more busy while there are increasing number of complains on service delay. The issue is highly critical and a solution to improve IT service efficiency must be sought out. After reviewed the situation, the theories of PE (Process Excellence) and statistical software, such as Six Sigma method and Minitab, have been adopted for improving IT service efficiency. The commercial software MiniTab14 and the data mining software Alpha Miner are used for statistic and data mining to discover possible patterns and causes of the problems. With the discovered results and changes on the service workflow correspondingly, the IT service efficiency has increased 19.3 percent. |
