Process Management

This is defined as "the application of creative thought to basic business practices that results in quantum gains in recorded results."  This is a step-by-step approach that uses process mapping as a vehicle to graphically indicate the current workflow of a designated process.  Each step is questioned as to why the step is performed as well as how it is performed.  Only after the project has been fully mapped can modifications be made resulting in significant changes, improvements, and even elimination of past practices.  The end result is an improved, seamless procedure providing quantum leap changes reflected in improved client satisfaction.
 

Key Questions:

Have you mapped your entire order flow process?
Are the current processes a carry-over from the past?
Are you using current technology in your order flow?

Deliverables include:

Improved competitive advantage.
Developing team leaders.

Improve response to client requests.
Improved margins.

Project Management

All organizations and individuals are either reactive or proactive.  History will record that the most successful organizations and individuals were highly proactive.  One vehicle that has withstood the test of time is Project Management.  This technique was used by the military to manage a large number of activities.  Other disciplines, such as Engineers, have also recognized the value of being able to track manufacturing, record the progress, and meet demanding schedules.  A number of techniques may be used, such as critical path, WIP, PERT diagramming, and flow charting.  Project Management may be used when it is necessary to have a number of activities being performed at the same time and when it is necessary to coordinate these activities and meet a scheduled deadline.
