Why do youneed a BPM model?
Your processes are your way of doing business and often time is
the most neglected part of the business. Done the right way they
are the key to simplicity, scalability, efficiency, and profitability.
• Are your processes documented the way you want them
done?
• Does each employee know the process they are following
and why?
• Do they complete them accurately?
• Do errors and rework keep you up at night or
• Or cause you to spend time working in the business?

Why Process Mapping?
•It ensures that your organization does the Process the same
way every time
• Improve Employee Productivity
• It identifies steps that are not needed in the process
• Removes steps created by the thinking that “we’ve always
done it that way”
• It helps create checklists for each department
• It helps identified where you can apply technology to
streamline and automate the process
• It allows you to work on the business and not in the business.
Create a self-sustaining business
• I believe in the 20/80 rule when documenting processes.
Identify your main processes and document them.
• By documenting your main processes it give you peace of mind
knowing that everything is done the way you want it
consistently and proficiently.

Introduction to Kaizen
Kaizen(Ky-Zen)
“Continual Improvement”
The small, gradual, incremental changes applied over time
that add up to a major impact on business results
Kai = “To take apart”
Zen = “To make good”
Based on the fundamentals of scientific analysis, in which you analyze (take
apart) the elements of a process or system to see how it works, then discover
how to influence or improve it (make it better)
Ten Basic Principlesfor Improvement
1. Throw out all fixed ideas about how to do things.
2. Think of how the new method WILL work-not how it
won’t.
3. Don’t accept excuses…Totally deny the status quo.
4. Don’t seek perfection on the first pass, build improvement.
5. Correct mistakes the moment they are found.
6. Don’t spend a lot of money on improvements.
7. Problems give you a chance to use your brain!
8. Ask “Why” at least five times until you find root cause.
9. Ten peoples ideas are better than that of one person.
10.Improvement knows NO limits!!

Functional Deployment Map
1.Identify the participants of the process
from start-to-top point. Place the
customer at the upper left corner.
2. Identify the “trigger” or initial step and
identify the “final” step
3. Identify what step receives the output
of the initial step and what activity
they perform
4. Repeat by identifying what receives
the output from the second step and
what activity they perform
5. Continue identifying steps and align
vertically with participants
