Implementing Business process Improvement

Business Process Improvement, as the name suggests, is a set of proven techniques drafted with years of experience, with the intent of improving the efficiency and profitability of an organization. Business process Improvement, BPI, brings in drastic changes in the infrastructure, be it hardware resources or knowledge of the workforce etc. for improvement in the working processes of an organization. BPI helps the decision-makers of an organization to begin with the three basic concerns: • identifying the purposes and goals of their organization, • determining the nature of their customers, their needs and requirements, and • Identifying changes that should be made to achieve and improve the goals. BPI strategies are not specific ones for a particular domain or industry rather these strategies could be deployed by any industry, which is ready to upgrade to a new environment and is versatile to understand the new technology in their field. The difference in the strategies lies in the fact that each industry type is different and so is their approach to efficiency. Let’s understand some basic steps for deploying BPI: • Highlighting the key processes: Auditing, walk-through etc. could help identify the key processes which need to be managed and concentrated so as to improve the efficiency as a whole. Highlighted processes can be worked out properly and can be upgraded, if needed, in order to improve the overall productivity of an organization. • Preparing blueprints: Once the key processes has been identified, which need to be worked upon, it is desired to define the blueprints for the future progress of improvement strategy. This gives a rough sketch about how the success looks like, so further developments can be made accordingly. • Flowcharts of processes and handoff points: At this point, different documentation of strategy execution and hand-off points should be decided between the departments. Objectives set for different processes need to be studied, to figure out the lag between the expected and current output of these key processes. • Collect and Analyze data: Collect data related to different processes through meetings, reviews etc. for final analysis and selection of processes which needs to be changed. In order to analyze the data properly, a collation tools is used, which converts the regular data into some representational structure for analysis and studying purposes. • Execute the improvement plan: Now, when the final list of the processes which will undergo changes has been decided, it’s time to implement the improvement strategy or plan in order to improve the efficiency of those processes. • Create internal control and test work: Internal control systems should be designed while implementing the improvement plan or cloud computing strategy. This would help in minimizing the possible error, which can be encountered while the implementation process. In order to check the correctness of the plan, testing should be performed so as to present a detailed picture about presence of any error. • Evaluate success ratio: the effect of the changes made in the processes should be checked to see their effect on the business progress and efficiency of development. This helps figure out, if the strategy so deployed was successful or not for the business.

All of the above mentioned steps are the most generalized version for implementing a business process improvement plan. All the inside technical execution of different steps on each of the phase changes according to the industry being using the BPI plan because of the nature of end-product developed by the software development company.
