Mapping the Process


Mapping the Process
 Allows the team to see all parts of the process & how these parts fit
together & the weakness & unnecessary complexities of the process.
 Enables the team to design different attendants.
 Following are the different components….
1) Process Analysis
2) Process Environment Diagrams
3) Data flow diagrams
4) Data flow leveling
5) Flow charts
1. Process Analysis
o Process – Sub process – Main Activities – Special tasks
o Data flow diagram – shows the flow of inputs & outputs
2. Process Environment diagrams
o Represents the process
o Shows the main customers & Suppliers
o Flow inputs & outputs
o Supplying is the key
3. Data Flow Diagram
o Sub Process – Represented by Circle
o Flow of inputs / Outputs – represented by arrow & lines
o Second level data flow – Each circle & exploding with main
element.
4. Data flow leveling
5. flow Chart
Circle Start
Rectangle End
Big Rectangle Process Step [Activity]
Decision
Input or output
D shape Delay
Arrow Flow


 Process Improvement Techniques
1) Five Question Analysis
2) Value Added Analysis
3) Bureaucracy Elimination
4) Cycle time Analysis
Five Question Analysis
 What is the purpose?
 Where is it performed?
 When is it performed?
 Who performs it?
 How is it performed?
Value Added Analysis
Flow
 Classification…
o Adds Real Value – actually makes a difference to the final
output.
o Add Business Value – That are required by the organization,
but that add no value to the customer point of view.
Bureaucracy Elimination
o Bureaucratic Steps…
Checking Recording
Authorizing Producing multiple copies
Storing Approving
 Re-engineering Implementation Framework
 Raymond Manganelli – New York Based Gateway Information Services
Inc.
 Definition
 The rapid & radical redesign of strategic, value-added business
processes & the systems, policies & organizational structures
that support them to optimize the work flows & productivity in an
organization.
 Reengineering methodology must focus on two strategic guidelines
 Empowering People
 Enabling technology
 Five steps to Reengineering Approvals.
o Preparation
o Identification
o Vision
o Solution
o Process Design
1. Preparation
 Recognize the need to re-engineer & develop consequences.
 Identify existing barriers – Cost & Time
 Change plan document / Contract
2. Identification
 Identify important processes for the organization
 7 main characteristics that influence customers decisions
Q Quality Product that suit their needs & are durable & reliable
V Volume Should be in certain Quantity / Volume
A Administrative
procedures
Procedures that buyers must go through to pay for the
product
L Location Ease to access & attractively arranged premises
I Image &
interrelations
The supplier’s image & interrelationship with customers.
T Time Factor Products should received at time
Y Yield The value per unit of money spent
3. Vision
 Understanding the process structure & how it flows within the
organization.
4. Solution
 Divided into 2 areas
 Process Design
 Social Design
5. Transformation
 After completing the business system design, performing the process
design, & developing test & rollout plans, personnel must be evaluated
before the new system is constructed.
 Continuous improvement follows but Manganelli cautions against
thinking of re-engineering in terms of continuous improvement.
