PCM105 - Process Mapping and Analysis
Course Overview
Your organization is a collection of processes. These processes are the natural business activities you perform that produce value, serve customers and generate income. Managing these processes is the key to the success of your organization.
Unfortunately, most organizations -- probably yours -- are not set up to manage processes. Instead, they manage tasks. Think about it. Isn't your company organized around functions – manufacturing department, radiology department, the sales department, the customer service department?
Process mapping is a simple yet powerful method of looking beyond functional activities and rediscovering your core processes. Process maps enable you to peel away the complexity of your organizational structure (and internal politics) and focus on the processes that are truly the heart of your business.
Properly used, process maps can change your entire approach to business process management...and greatly reduce the cost of your operations by eliminating as much as 50% of the steps in most processes as well as the root causes of systemic quality problems.
