Reason #8 Perform processes consistently
Consistency is a critical success factor in operating a business to generate the greatest profits with the least amount of errors. Too many times an organization’s critical business processes are left to the people and the systems that they use to determine how a process is accomplished.
People learn very quickly how to circumvent a process in an effort to move an order, a shipment, or an approval along more quickly. These shortcuts often come back to haunt us as critical credit verifications, configuration checks, inventory verifications or any number of other important steps are bypassed.
It’s not uncommon that the processes that serve at the core of a business are kept in the heads of the people who perform them.
A company’s business processes are its intellectual capital and they need to be documented, managed and safeguarded in the same way as any other critical corporate asset. If an important employee were to leave the company unexpectedly would their role in the company be easily replaced?
For a process to perform the same every time a structure must be put in place to manage it. A well structured automated process oftentimes streamline the times required to execute while assuring that all of the important steps and completed. A full-featured BPMS provides a common consistent framework for people and systems to work together, even if the people or the systems change.
And structure doesn’t have to mean inflexibility. A BPMS enables processes to be changed as business conditions or organizational needs change.
