each step that every employee takes as the loan flows from origination to funding.
STEP 2: ASSIGNING TIME VALUES
Once your process has been mapped, we ask you about the amount of time and resources each workflow
step consumes.
STEP 3: DETERMINE PROCESS VALUE
Based on your staff’s rate of pay and the assigned time values, we calculate a cost value for each workflow
process step. We can then aggregate time values and derive an overall cost per loan that’s based on your
specific workflow.
STEP 4: PROCESS IMPROVEMENT SIMULATION
Using the derived cost per loan, we ask you about different strategies you would like to apply to your
process and determine the relative value of those strategies – providing you with real context for your
technology evaluation.
