Problem Analysis
Ben 's Omnicrons Pty Ltd is a company with a highly functional organizational structure. The managers and employees of six different departments are focusing too narrowly on their own tasks, performing them in isolation without comprehending previous and subsequent steps outside their functional “silos”, therefore losing the sight of the whole picture of the larger business process (Magal & Word, 2009). Lack of sufficient communication leads to lack of consideration of workers from each functional group to their consequences for the other components of the process. The company had never put much effort and time into developing streamlined, computer-based and IT utilized business process. The overwhelming reliance on paper-based manual methods to get things done has resulted in the insufficient coordination of the whole value chain.

Every company will focus on supplying a service, product, or both. How and where the product is made plays a crucial role in the company’s success. In order to help visualize how the products are made process maps are formatted. These process maps can help to identify areas that need improvement. In order to implement improvement, process development will be implemented. The form of good that a company supplies is also important and to ensure that the best product is distributed product development is conducted. Target Corporation is a complex company, which provides consumers with their necessities.

Processual approach: Strategy is produced in an incremental fashion, as a 'pattern in a stream of decisions'. Fuzzy approach: Companies sometimes adopt an incremental approach to change. What's different between these two approach?
Business processes comprise a set of sequential sub-processes or tasks, with alternative paths depending on certain conditions as applicable, performed to achieve a given objective or produce given outputs. Each process has one or more needed inputs. The inputs and outputs may be received from, or sent to other business processes, other organizational units, or internal or external stakeholders. Business processes are designed to be operated by one or more business functional units, and emphasize
Business process reengineering (BPR) is the analysis and redesign of workflow within and between enterprises. The purpose of BPR is to make all business processes the best-in-class. Michael Hammer and James Champy published their best-selling book, reengineering the Corporation, where the authors promoted the idea of radically redesigning the enterprise by wiping the slate clean. New information technology, including the ability for people throughout the supply chain to communicate in real time and the ability for controls and monitoring to be instituted throughout the supply chain, is often a driver of process reengineering within the organization. By reengineering workflows with better quality controls within the production process, companies can more easily uncover issues within the supply chain at their source. Through breaking down the processes of the business and organizing around outcomes, companies can uncover and remove inefficiencies in their processes.

BOLDFlash’s Mobile Division is a cross-functional team. The cross-functional team will encourage diversity of opinion with a wide range of skills. The Internal Business Process Artifact give an impression that, the business processes are not well discussed and planned between other departments and each department works like a silo building.

The poor accessibility and poor communication between department result in duplicate efforts and it will affect the quality and productivity of the workforce.
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method to evaluate process improvement plans. The purpose of the FMEA is to identify ways the plan might fail and what impact the failure would have on the process. In the scenario of the task, the hospital had a moderate sedation policy that was not followed and this resulted in the death of Mr. B. The process improvement plan for this sentinel event involves a policy change to the moderate sedation policy that includes the use of a checklist with a time-out component. The FMEA for this process improvement plan will evaluate the use of the checklist since it contains all elements of the new policy with-in the procedure checklist. A team will be chosen for the FMEA that
