Reason #4 Manage the 'entire' process, not just the fragments Most business processes in the average Fortune 1000 enterprise are actually made up of a collection of process fragments.
Each fragment is typically conducted by an individual or system within a department.
The Sales department generates an order that is handed off to the Finance department for a credit verification that is then handed off to Order Administration that enters the order into the ERP system and on and on until the order is finally shipped to the customer and the Accounting department sends an invoice and collects. If you then include distributors on the Sales side and Suppliers on the Buy side the number of fragments gets incrementally larger still.
While the 'order to cash' process is at the heart of virtually every business, its execution is distributed across dozens of functional departments and systems.
Until BPM no one solution could address all of these process fragments as one 'composite process'.
Some examples of composite processes are:
- Order Management - spanning Sales, Finance, Manufacturing and Logistics.
- Employee Onboarding/Departing - includes HR, Facilities, Finance, IT, Procurement and Benefits.
- Product Lifecycle Management - covers R&D, Marketing, Finance, Manufacturing, Services.... virtually an entire company.
