Business Process Mapping: Your Gateway to Sustainable Success

Redefining Business Processes for Success

In your pursuit of business excellence, having efficient and effective processes is nonnegotiable. Yet, many organizations overlook the vital practice of reevaluating their operations.

This oversight helps you reduce inefficiencies like silos, workarounds and added frustration. Investing in a Business Process Mapping (BPM) Session with WM Synergy’s Center of Excellence is not just a strategic investment — it’s your gateway to sustainable success.

What Is Business Process Mapping?

Business process mapping describes the concept of examining the multiple steps involved in completing job duties and identifying opportunities for growth. Growth and improvements might include shortening production timelines, limiting production waste, motivating employees to stay safe while performing tasks, or incorporating new ideas and practices into workflows for efficiency.

BPM strategies are important for performing at the top of your game, especially when you belong to the manufacturing or distribution fields. The main goal behind manufacturing and distribution process improvement is to reduce waste so that a higher percentage of the work done adds value, meaning it’s something the customer is paying for.

WM Synergy can assist in generating a process map for your company that helps you evaluate delivery timelines, supplier capabilities and performance, and the spending necessary to make sure your products work as intended.

Distribution and manufacturing process improvement initiatives make all the difference in supporting your internal staff, customers and bottom line.

The BPM Workshop: A Collaborative Expedition into Operational Excellence

With our Center of Excellence, BPM is more than a session — it’s an interactive, cross-functional workshop. Our team of skilled specialists collaborates with your process owners and employees to conduct a thorough assessment of your overall business processes. This workshop is designed to uncover specific improvement opportunities and identify gaps, risks and opportunities in your current operations.

Business Performance Improvement: Standardized Practices

Cultivating and adhering to standardized practices is crucial for maintaining quality, facilitating problem-solving and boosting overall efficiency. These practices, when crafted thoughtfully, enable organizations to track key performance metrics such as on-time delivery, inventory turns, supplier performance, cost of quality, and other critical measures. This focus on performance improvement is at the heart of our approach to BPM.

The Outcome: Streamlined Efficiency and a New Roadmap

Proper documentation and standardization of these practices not only streamline processes but also ensure consistency in execution. These standards double as effective training materials for new hires and play a critical role in the seamless integration of business mergers or acquisitions. The essence of BPM lies in its ability to bring about efficiency and uniformity in how every process is approached and executed.

BPM: The Key to Maximizing ERP Utilization 

BPM is an essential element in laying the groundwork for the successful utilization of your ERP, turning it into a tool for true business revolution. Instead of merely operating your ERP system, BPM ensures you’re maximizing its potential, elevating your business processes to new levels of efficiency and effectiveness.

Why BPM Is Necessary for Your Business

• Identifying Change: BPM casts a spotlight on organizational changes, transforming process issues from obstacles into opportunities.
• Driving Efficiency: It serves as the catalyst in ERP-driven operations, significantly enhancing efficiency and customer engagement.
• Reducing Costs: It identifies waste, optimizing production and inventory costs.
• Boosting Productivity: BPM streamlines workflows, eliminating process redundancies to sharpen focus and amplify productivity.
• Improving Communication: BPM outlines how and when to execute specific steps, an essential process for ERP success.
• Optimizing Data Integration: BPM aligns processes with critical data integration, driving better business decisions.

Real Results, Real Voices

“Drilltec decided we needed to reimplement our Infor SyteLine ERP system – we’ve used SyteLine for many years but knew that based on how our organization has grown and changed we needed to take a fresh look at how we were executing our business processes and utilizing the system. We had the WM Synergy Center of Excellence team come onsite for Business Process Mapping; they were knowledgeable in best practice and kept us focused and on track. The event had our team participating in breaking down how we do things today and identifying the issues that need to be addressed to bring our organization to the next level. This was a great way to start our project – not only do we have the processes defined on how we’ll train, test, and use the ERP system, but our team is looking forward to changing the way they do things. I fully recommend this approach to anyone in a similar position.” -Phillip Kennedy, Director of IT & Business Systems, Drilltec
