Business process management
Business Process Analysis
The examination of a company’s business processes in order to identify inefficiencies or areas for improvement. By analyzing the steps in a process and the people, technology, and resources involved, businesses can optimize their operations to increase productivity and reduce costs.
Process Mapping
Creating a visual representation of a process, in the form of a flowchart or diagram. The goal of process mapping is to provide a clear understanding of the steps involved in a process, as well as the inputs, outputs, and decision points.
Process Design/Re-Design
The creation or improvement of a process to achieve a specific outcome. Process design involves the development of a new process from scratch, while process re-design involves modifying an existing process to make it more effective and efficient.
Process Pilot and Hypercare
Pilot and Hypercare are two phases of the implementation process for a new system or process. The pilot phase involves testing the new system or process on a small scale to identify any issues or challenges that need to be addressed. The Hypercare phase involves providing additional support and resources to ensure the new system or process is successful and running smoothly.
VOE/VOC
Voice of Employee (VOE) and Voice of Customer (VOC) are two methods of gathering feedback from employees and customers, respectively. VOE and VOC are used to identify areas for improvement, understand customer needs and preferences, and make data-driven decisions.
