• Soft processes are the ones that touch customers and suppliers
• Soft processes initiate manufacturing and distribute the products of manufacturing
• Soft processes often have fewer transactions and these transactions are of greater value
• Soft processes are human centric and are full of variance and special cases, science must be applied to reduce and manage this variance
• In non-manufacturing industries, there are only soft processes
