Company Processes

Internal processes are often the most difficult to control – they don't get the profile that customer and supplier processes receive, and internal discipline is often lacking. As an example, it is widely estimated that 30% of print jobs submitted do not actually get picked up by the initiator. That can be a big drain on costs.

So the first suggestion is to audit the paper flow – and as much as possible, move to eliminate it by using digital documents. Where this is not possible (some government and legal forms perhaps?) adopt digital facsimiles as they are often easier and faster to access.

Another suggestion is to adopt E-signatures – they are widely accepted in place of paper documents; they store easily and are transmitted far faster than paper documents.

Of course, these suggestions lead to (at least considering) Business Process Management. BPM also fosters collaboration – any process where more than one individual or department are involved can benefit – an RFP process for example, where engineering documentation and sales/product management input are required for scheduling, pricing and rebate levels – can be controlled and monitored using your internally designed workflows.
