Process improvement
When changing over to electronic workflows, it is important to distinguish between:-
- Conversion of a paper based process into an electronic process
- Re-engineering or changing of the process.
And to quote Peter Drucker "there is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all".
Process discovery - amazing it can be
It is sometimes amazing what one discovers when analysing the existing manual process:
rules that 'people just know what to do' , manual checks, emails going back and forth, multiple Excel spreadsheets, waiting times...
Implicit rules and decisions need to be explicitly defined. Online data capture allows many of the manual checks to be done automatically, and sending emails back and forth or updating a myriad of spreadsheets can be replaced with real-time online reports. Online, multiple steps can take place at the same time in so called parallel phases, speeding up the overall process.
