“If you cannot explain what you’re doing in terms
of process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” -
W. Edwards Deming
Process is a collection of activities
performed through the interaction of people with machines.
These processes perform functions by which we define the business
and everyone’s
position within the organization.
We can differentiate our organization from other similar organizations
by the way we organize our processes. In other words, processes
contain the secret to your sustainable competitive advantage.
Whenever something challenges your performance or when growth
requires the implementation of new technology, or integration
of two or more platforms or organizations, it has to be accommodated
by process.
Business Process Engineering performs this function of accommodating
change, stream-lining operations and guaranteeing the constant
quality of performance.
