Process Efficiency
A process is anything that takes an input, adds value, and provides an output to an internal or external customer.
Many companies misunderstand the importance of evaluating their processes. Commercial businesses are not accustomed to thinking of their “work” as being accomplished through a series of “processes” producing a “unit” of output. However, this perspective – equating your business to a series of processes – is essential to both growth and increasing profits.
When it comes to evaluating the efficiency of your company’s processes, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Efficiency and quality go hand-in-hand. Top quality processes are naturally and inherently efficient.
- Product quality is synonymous with profitability and growth. Top-notch product quality is synonymous with increasing market share, higher product prices, and greater profitability.
- Improving quality requires measurement. You can’t improve quality without questioning your processes, and you don’t know what to question without accurate measurement.
- Accurate measurement often causes dramatic changes in employee perception. Is your management team willing or able to accurately measure your processes, even if the act of measurement itself will challenge their perceptions?
