Business Process Optimization

Looking to transform the processes that run your company? Our team’s best practices and agnostic approach will help you see the big picture, clarify priorities, and understand dependencies that can assure maximum ROI from your team’s effort.

Process maps are the language of your business. They explain how value is created, reveal opportunities for improvement, and bring the potential of IT to life. At almost every organization, there is a significant gap between the way management thinks processes are executed and what really happens on the front line. More significantly, exceptions, workarounds, and special customer needs cause process steps to be added over time. We collaborate with your team while facilitating the creation of a project-guiding system map. This map can illustrate a single key process or your entire enterprise.

Our approach supports your organization in making educated systems selections, and preparing for implementations by

Align manufacturing and supply chain processes with corporate strategic plan
Focus on LEAN principles
Leverage existing IT resources and applications – we build on what you have already invested in and augment where necessary
Defining requirements for software selection based on your specific needs
Advocate on your behalf with software integrator – implementations should be built around your needs, not you having to change to fit their generic software
