How to improve the business processes

mark-995567_960_720

Any company works daily under inner and outer rules, that are manually handled almost ever even in company of large dimensions.

Until the rules are simple and clearly defined or if the working contest is not complicated it is not necessary to have a dedicated system to help management. But when company complexity increases (products, production’s mode, information, business relationship, outer environment)  it is fundamental to have systems supporting study, definition, setting up and control of the company rules.

Each business sector has its own rules, some departments issue rules for others (technical, legal, quality), suppliers and customer too have rules that we must respect. Without rules we would live worst and with less fun. What would happen if 22 people would meet in a yard with a ball and, even knowing the football rules, would play with nobody who make them respect that rules? The same happens for companies. Having no rules is impossible, not manage them is dangerous.

How do we manage rules ?

Rules are principally composed by Activity, Operators or Resources, Relation, Decision, Timing and Control.  The most important thing to do is clearly have in mind to target or the result to reach with these rules.

After that you need: big sheets, a block, a pencil, a rubber

If you know how to draw squares, rhombus, circles and lines with arrows it’s a done deal: you have everything you need to start handling your rules.

Let’s try and imagine to describe a rule or, as we call it from now, “workflow” or process.
let’s see how to draw our first process.

Imagine a simple action such as issuing an offer and the need to do a double check and / or approval. First of all write on a block a short description of what you want and what should happen during the process. For example: we want to handle the control and the approval of the offers issued by commercial operators. Offers with value higher than 1000 € must be approved by the commercial director, the ones with value higher than 10.000 € must ne approved either from the commercial director or the general director. When the offers are approved must be sent to customer through email in PDF file”. Now we can start drawing on a paper sheet two circles that represent the beginning and the end of the process.

On the block let’s write what will happen at these points.

For example : Beginning – “when the offer is created and achieved the process must start. It is necessary to know the value of the offer to handle the approval levels.”
End – “if the offer is approved it is converted in PDF file and sent to customer through email.

We need the email address of customer”
And we complete the drawing process highlighting its most important steps.

Now we just have to write on the block what must happen through the various steps that have been highlighted

1) if the value of the offer is higher than 1.000 euro go to following step otherwise the offer is approved
2) approval of commercial director: it must be done in 1 day from the delivery of the offer and if it is higher than 10.000 euro a note for the general director must be added. If he/she does not approve the offer the process get closed notifying to the operator how to modify the offer.
3) if the value is higher of 10.000 euro the general director must approve the offer

4) the general director approves the offer considering the notes of the commercial director. If there is no approval the process comes back to the commercial director for the changes needed.
5) if the offer is approved the document is converted into a PDF file and sent to the email address found in the customer information data base.
End

This is all what you need to start defining the first rules. From this point to the transfer of your drawing to a process management system, such as ARXivar, is really simple

Obstacles

There may be a “cultural” obstacle: companies always preferred to do investments on something linked directly to product, because it is more in the competence of the manager, without needing consultants or intermediaries. But also innovation in organization needs investments in technology and advice.

If you have no clear ideas on your targets why don’t you have a preliminary meeting with our consultant? We have long time experience, we can help you to make your company be an ‘event driven’ one, organized and managed through processes.

Arxivar the Company Process Management 

With Workflow Management or Company Process Management or BPM (Business Process Model) it is meant the use of graphic schemes to define organizing processes and a system for their running and control. A company is a complex structure that needs to be constantly tuned. If we try to point out what characterizes a successful company, we find out very soon its ability to differentiate the key processes compared to its competitors, meaning by business process a number of activities coordinated and supported by people, technologies and know-how, like carrying out an order, answering a customer’s request or producing new consumer goods.

The competitive lead of a company depends more and more on its ability to excel in the business key-processes. Therefore it becomes necessary to coordinate people’s work and to determine for a certain event who has to do what, with which tools, which information, which decision power.

ARXivar is the informatics tool that allows to coordinate all that.

Easy to use for the end user, who is guided while carrying out his/her activities.

Easy for the company, which can operate in a very short time a new workflow.

Easy for the ICT, who has the full control on the drawing, test and go-live steps of the new implementation.

  • Increase in productivity and executive speed
  • Increase in the performances
  • Staff flexibility (new employees or staff changes find a guide in the activities they undertake)
  • Observance of the procedures
  • Reduction of procedural and operative mistakes
  • Optimized procedures repetitiveness
  • Refinement of processes
  • Continuous monitoring and better control
  • Tracking of all undertaken exceptions
  • Progress stage of a process
  • Procedures simplification
  • Cut of execution time in a process
  • Lower costs and higher efficiency

  • The user is immediately productive thanks to simple and immediate tools
  • The ‘task window’ available in the working area leads through the assigned tasks
  • Task priority and further useful information are well shown on the tasks panel
  • All the documentary management tools are immediately available inside the tasks
  • Detailed instructions about actions to carry out for each process task
  • Clear evidence with direct links to the operations to be executed for the assigned task
  • Possibility to start external applications directly
  • Process attachments
  • Process notes
  • Detailed operative instructions
  • Direct access to the tracking system for all the performed operations

Power and simplicity, all design steps of a flow are done through graphic tools and there is no need to write a code.

Through the workflow designer (graphic designer of flowchart) are defined actions, times and people who have to carry out activities, according to a determined procedure path. ARXivar workflow allows the company to be proactive and simplify activities, which arrive directly to the „electronic desk“ of the person who has to execute them. It is gradually possible to deal with the most critical processes one after the other and integrate them with the existing functional organization. Any event both manual and/or automatic, can start a process.

One of the most important features is the simplicity of use. ARXivar process modeller allows one to be autonomous in the creation of processes. Processes are not static, but dynamic, as the company improves constantly, and with ARXivar they can fit in a few seconds the new company requirements. All independently. Thanks to the powerful designer it is possible during the process to cope with any exceptions that need to be managed in a quick and flexible way.

 

Powerful parameterization tools allow the full control on the operative paths:

  • Management of the operative calendar per single Business Unit, including working hours, festivities and time zone
  • A multilevel organization chart that can be specifically customized for each flow
  • Outcomes, professional roles and duties are customizable
  • Process variables coming from user’s input or from queries towards external data sources

Control tools allow the management to supervise the progress of company flows and to intervene in real time on criticalities.

With a tool of process management you can check and analyse the development of company work flows and obtain important data in order to evaluate the company progress. It is possible to think, draw, follow and monitor all business proceedings, of any kind, and integrate them with any information systems and management applications in use. Saving a lot of time and money.
