Defining processes, mapping them, evaluating their efficiency and how they relate to people and systems is a significant element in providing efficiency and effectiveness in delivering the organisation’s proposition.
It is easy to understand how some processes mis-match, especially if the entire process operates across different functions within an organisation. This requires effective process management.
Our experience has been that in some organisations the processes almost compete with each other from one function to another.
Being able to take an holistic view and review a process from start to finish, and indeed to evaluate the customer interface with a process are important aspects of ensuring the process really achieves its objectives and adds value.
Aligning process with the other elements, especially the business plan, people and systems will create more effective and productive use of resources.PROCESSES
Business processes are the defined routines, procedures and habits employed by the people and the systems in order to deliver the proposition. There will be, in many organisations, an interface between people and systems in following processes. Process Management will ensure that processes do not fall into disrepair.
“Business Process Redesign is radically customer-oriented. Process outputs should not only support the firm's objectives, but must also satisfy customers' requirements. Customers should be integrated into the redesign.”
Prof. Dr. Michael Kutschker
