Process and management: strategies for sustainable success
Process management

Managing processes effectively

Process management is an instrument for controlling and improving business processes at a company. The aim is to make company processes efficient, transparent and customer-orientated. This is achieved particularly effectively with process modelling. In process modelling, the company's various processes and internal control system are depicted graphically so that weak points and potential for improvement can be rendered visible through process analysis. Well-documented processes then serve as the basis for monitoring compliance requirements, such as adherence to the Generally Accepted Principles for Proper Accounting and Retention of Books, Records and Documents in Electronic Form as well as Data Access (GoBD). Due to constantly changing underlying conditions, process management is not a one-off project, but rather a continuous improvement process in which best practices and previous experience need to be taken into account in optimising processes.

Whatever the case may be, it is important to specify goals and key performance indicators in order to harmonise and streamline processes. We will be glad to assist you with your project. The following procedures have already proven their effectiveness many times over with our clients:

Generally speaking, our approach is to map the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act). This means that after analysing the current situation and spelling out the target, we review possible improvements and then check whether the result has been achieved before setting a new standard. Finally, these specified standards are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

FAQs - Questions about process and management

What is process management?

Process management is a systematic approach to controlling and improving business processes at a company. The objective is to make company processes efficient, transparent and customer-orientated. Process management involves identifying, analysing, designing and monitoring processes to ensure that they contribute to achieving the company's objectives in an optimum manner. In the context of IT, this means utilising IT systems and information infrastructures to optimise processes in such a way that they support the business strategy and ensure smooth technological processes, taking forward the digital transformation of your company.

Why is process management important for SMEs?

Process management is of crucial importance for medium-sized companies as it enables them to organise their business processes along more efficient and customer-oriented lines. By optimising processes, resources can be better utilised, costs reduced and responsiveness to market changes enhanced. This helps companies to achieve greater transparency and boost customer satisfaction by ensuring that services and products are consistently aligned with customer needs. It furthermore promotes adaptability to constantly changing conditions, thereby contributing to the long-term competitiveness and success of the company.
 

What is process modelling?

Process modelling describes the graphical representation of workflows and processes. These models are used to visualise and document complex processes in order to make them easier to understand for everyone involved. A model of a process can assume various forms, such as flowcharts or process flow diagrams.

These are the advantages that process modelling has to offer: 

  • Improved communication: Visualising processes makes them easier to understand for all team members. Modelling a process can reduce misunderstandings.
  • Greater efficiency: Inefficient processes can be identified and improved more easily. A well-designed model helps to recognise weak points in the process.
  • Documentation: Process models serve as valuable documentation for training and process improvements. A model of a process can be used as a reference in future optimisations.

There are various methods for process modelling, including

  • Flowcharts: Simple diagrams visualising the flow of a process. A flowchart model is easy to understand and widely used.
  • Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN): A standardised method for mapping business processes. BPMN models are particularly detailed and precise.
  • Event-driven process chains (EPC): This is a method used particularly in software development and business process management. EPC models are helpful when it comes to structuring complex processes.

What are the benefits of standardising and optimising processes?

The standardisation and optimisation of processes offer numerous advantages. They bring about greater efficiency by eliminating redundancies and standardising procedures, saving time and reducing costs. They contribute to a reduction in the error rate and to consistent performance thanks to standardised role descriptions and rules of responsibility while building a uniform understanding of processes and their results within as well as between companies and departments. Standardisation facilitates the targeted acquisition and faster onboarding of new employees as well as work across different sites. Moreover, defined standards form a solid basis for audits and certifications, contributing to quality assurance while strengthening adherence to compliance requirements. Optimisation promotes the flexibility and scalability of processes so that companies can react nimbly to changes. Finally, it adds transparency, enabling better control and monitoring along with a continuous improvement of business processes.
 

When is it advisable to standardise processes?

Standardising processes always makes good sense wherever underlying products or services are comparable and there are enough similar use cases. This is particularly relevant if a process is applied at different sites. In areas characterised by complex work processes, standards help keep an overview while preventing loss of control over the host of requirements. These are a key element when it comes to boosting efficiency and quality while providing the basis for growth and scaling.
