The Benefits Of Process Mapping For Your Business
This week the mapping out of processes was an activity I performed for a client which they found beneficial for several reasons:
Better visualisation of the process It made it clear as to who was doing what as part of the process What tasks needed to be completed and by when Why each activity had to be completed within a particular timeframe What equipment, software, material and people needed to be resourced (whether internal or external to the business) Identifying areas that are a root cause to a problem (avoid band-aid fix and look to eliminating the problem) Identifying areas of opportunity for improvement (to save time and money and increase quality) Collaboration and input by those involved in the process (increases the acceptance of changes) Creating a standard operating procedure on that process (increases standardisation and ability to cross-train people)The process maps and standard operating procedures can continue to be updated as required.
