Changing your Processes
Life is ever changing. You're changing your living conditions in response to
a new relationship. You're upgrading your housing due to a promotion. You move
from location to another due to your preferences or because of a relocation
of your company. In short, you're responding and acting on changes in your environment.
And so is your company and your company processes.
Examples of factors that influences the way you do business are:
" A change in strategy and focus in your management team
" Competitors providing new products and services
" Upcoming technologies that potentially influence industry standards of
productivity and quality
" Government regulations prescribing employees working conditions
And many more.
Make Process Change an Opportunity for Improvement
Whether you react on these factors, or you anticipate and change proactively,
any change need to be an improvement. To guard your company from running from
one process change to another, or - even worse - just changing processes without
an overall plan behind, you better embed the change management of your processes
into your organization. And… there are simulation tools available giving
insight into the logistical and financial consequences of each process change.
For example how much resources are needed to keep your current production level.
Or what the throughput time of the changed process will be after you implement
the proposed changes.
Business Process Re-engineering
But it's not only a matter of productivity and time. Also costs matter. That's
what the EZ-BPR solution will quantify exactly and easy to interpret. The costs
that are related with the execution of an activity. So that you can evaluate whether
a specific activity really adds value, or that your money is just wasted…
Make sure you control your processes. Make sure you control the changes in them
and make sure the changes are improvements… Quality-wise and costs-aware.
