Process mapping --- business process reengineeringRishabh Bansal
This document defines process mapping and describes its benefits. Process mapping involves creating diagrams that show the major processes of an organization, including the key activities, sequencing, inputs/outputs, and how work is actually done versus how it should be done. It helps ensure processes are properly understood and managed. The first structured process mapping method was introduced in 1921. Process maps typically include flowcharts and process definition charts. The major steps are process identification, information gathering, interviewing/mapping, and analysis. Benefits include improved understanding of roles, integration across departments, performance improvement, and encouraging questions about how and why processes are done.
Process mapping is a method to visually document and analyze processes by graphically depicting the steps. It involves identifying processes, gathering information through interviews, and generating maps. Process maps show trigger events, activities, decisions, and hand-offs. They are analyzed to eliminate waste and improve processes by focusing on customer needs. Potential pitfalls include mapping without a clear purpose or getting lost in details without finalizing maps.
A flowchart is an outline or schematic drawing of the process your team is trying to measure or improve. It can also be a picture of an ideal process that you would like to use.

This document outlines a process framework for continuous business process improvement. It discusses identifying best practices, analyzing the current ("As Is") state and envisioning an improved ("To Be") state. Two approaches are business process improvement, which simplifies and optimizes existing processes, and business process reengineering, which radically redesigns processes from scratch. Principles for improvement include simplifying processes, using metrics to test changes, minimizing hand-offs, integrating tasks, leveraging IT, working backwards from outputs to inputs, establishing clear ownership, and viewing processes from the customer perspective. The document also lists information needed to map processes, such as responsibilities, key performance indicators, activities, inputs/outputs, suppliers, customers, and volumes.
Six Sigma is a statistical approach to process improvement that aims to reduce defects. It involves using tools like control charts, histograms, Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, and flow charts to identify and remove sources of errors and variation in manufacturing processes. The goal of Six Sigma is to achieve a defect rate of 3.4 defects per million opportunities. It has been widely adopted by companies to improve quality, lower costs, and increase customer satisfaction. Key aspects of Six Sigma implementation include defining processes, measuring key aspects, analyzing data, improving processes, and verifying results. Suppliers must also meet quality standards like ISO certification and maintain control over their own processes to fully support a Six Sigma approach.

Think You Don't Need to Diagram Your Business Processes? Think Again.Everteam
It’s not a simple task to diagram a business process, but the benefits far outweigh the potential challenges involved. The key is to put together the right group of people who understand the process best and can explain it clearly. When documenting a business process, don’t have it led by a technical analyst. You don’t want to design your processes around technology; you want the technology to work with your process.

Maintaining operational efficiency in an expanding business is a challenge for many companies today. It is not immediately obvious that the inefficiencies are hurting the business. However, small mistakes that lead to time and money lost become more frequent as the business hires more employees and takes on more work. Use this methodology to work through those sticking points that are holding your operations back.
Continual Improvement Process is required to adopt by almost every organization to compete in the market. This slide presentation will give you a brief overlook what it is? without going into details.
This document discusses quality improvement through process mapping and analysis. It explains that quality is judged based on process output, not individual worker performance. To improve quality, the process itself must be improved. Simply defining a process is not enough - management must make changes and use data to demonstrate improvements. The document then describes process mapping techniques like SIPOC, flowcharts, identifying value-added vs. non-value added steps, measuring cycle time, and bottlenecks.
This document outlines 5 key steps to establishing a smooth workflow using an agile approach: 1) Establish the workflow by mapping out major processes and stages, 2) Define policies for each stage, 3) Visualize work by adding cards for features and tasks, 4) Define work-in-progress limits for stages, and 5) Continuously improve by reviewing metrics and looking for areas of improvement. Following these steps helps minimize bottlenecks, focus work, and continuously refine the workflow.
The document discusses the importance of process documentation for businesses. It defines process documentation as step-by-step descriptions of how processes are executed from start to finish. Process documentation helps businesses avoid chaos as they grow by maintaining efficient and consistent procedures. It benefits businesses by optimizing processes, enabling automation, training new employees, sharing knowledge, and ensuring operational consistency. The document provides tips for creating process documentation, such as defining the process scope, organizing steps, identifying roles, noting exceptions, adding control points, and testing the documented process.
The document discusses using the DMAIC process for SEO projects. DMAIC is a structured problem-solving methodology originally developed by Motorola for process improvement. It stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. While originally used for manufacturing, DMAIC can also be applied to digital marketing projects by defining problems, measuring key metrics, analyzing data to determine root causes, improving processes, and controlling changes. The document provides details on carrying out each step of the DMAIC process for SEO projects.
Bringing the root cause analysis into the shop floorMatteo Bologna
Bringing root cause analysis onto the shop floor can provide several advantages:
1) It allows workers' expertise to be used to conduct analysis and define corrective actions for problems, leading to faster solutions and more effective actions.
2) Having all relevant parties involved from the start allows problems to be addressed directly where corrective actions will be implemented.
3) It increases engagement from workers by making them active participants in quality improvement.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

4. Process Mapping:
If you’ve ever planned ahead on your activities by clearly
stating the steps and actions you had to take - not
necessarily on a flowchart - congratulations! You’ve
mapped a process (even if you didn’t realise it at the time).
To better understand why you should map your processes -
and how you can do it - let’s first define process mapping.
5. What is Process Mapping?
Process mapping is focused on understanding how a
process actually works.
It can be defined as the series of activities necessary to:
• Define what a company/business does
• Who is responsible for what in the processes
• What determines the completion of a process
• What determines the success of a process
6. What is Process Mapping?
What you get from mapping your processes? Well, most
businesses decide to go for process mapping because it’s
an important tool to improve efficiency.
Having a clear and defined process allows you to look at
your processes “from the outside”.
It also helps whenever you hire consultants to evaluate your
processes and help you decide on making improvements
on what you currently have.
7. What is Process Mapping?
Business process mapping also allows you to pick a specific
objective and measure, track and compare this specific
point alongside your business’ overall objective.
By doing so, you’re able to determine whether a specific
process is aligned with the company’s general goals and
capabilities.
8. How to start mapping processes?
There are four important steps when mapping a process:
• Identify the process
• Gather information
• Interview
• Analyse
9. Process Mapping Steps:
Identify the process: Of course the first step when
mapping a process is taking an objective look at it and
trying to fully understand all its steps.
Gather information: After realising what a process does
and how it does it, let’s take a look at why it does it
(objectives), what can go wrong with it (risks) and how you
can measure it (key controls).
10. Process Mapping Steps:
Interview: Remember all the questions you’ve answered on
the previous step? Now it’s time to get in touch with those
that actually use the process and start building a map.
Analyse: Take an objective look at the process you’ve
mapped and ask whether it could be more effective and
efficient and what tools you could use to make it that way.
