In a sharply changing business environment the top priorities of every production management team are to focus on fundamental strengths, lasting results, efficient asset utilization and agile, fast-responsive manufacturing and service capabilities. Challenges in terms of dealing with organizational process complexity, demand for increased operational efficiency, quality improvement and simultaneous cost reduction, to name a few, can no longer remain un-tackled by any enterprise.
Organizations cannot rely anymore solely on ad hoc responses to problems and historic-grown processes which are, in most cases, obsolete and far from being efficient; they have to benefit from new opportunities and leverage on innovative strategies in order to standardize, streamline and increase the efficiency of all business processes.
Unimaginable efficiency growth potential can be uncovered in a large array of processes call it “core processes” such as production, procurement, logistics, stock management or quality control, which are considered the backbone of the enterprise; or “refined processes” such as the ones in the financial, marketing, sales or administrative departments.
The answers to only a few among a large array of questions addressed more frequently by incumbents reveal an increasing preoccupation for a strategically driven approach in process optimization:
- Does the company take all the productivity increasing measures in order to stand up to rising demand without employing additional resources?
- Is the company’s stock management process designed to maintain the fragile balance between supply security and overstocking?
- Should the company in, out or co-source processes in order to keep up with industry efficiency standards?
- How can the company increase CRM efficiency by keeping up with rising customer service expectations and, simultaneously, surmount fierce competition?
- How can the organization optimize its HR process reducing its recruiting costs but attracting the most valuable professionals on the market?
