âBusiness processes are moving to become more focused on end customers. The optimisation of business processes enables companies to improve the customer service experience as well as fulfil regulatory requirements,â says Lalla.
âIn order for companies to optimise their business processes, they need to understand the industry they are operating in and how their business fulfils a need in that market space. This industry knowledge can then be put to use in designing and optimising business processes to best serve this market,â says Lalla.
Optimizing Business Processes
Business Process Optimisation (BPO) looks at what waste can be eliminated from business processes to complete them in a shorter time and at less cost, and basically reviewing how to do things better. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) takes place when large scale changes have taken place within the business but the organisation is still operating using its current business processes, which then have to be reengineered to adapt to the changing business. Business Process Management (BPM) looks at how to manage processes that have been changed, including identifying process champions who understand the importance of the process and how they need to be implemented correctly. These champions also needi to manage the process going forward and how to update the process when required.
