Process Mapping

All organizations produce goods or services through the transformation process. Simply stated, every organization has an operations system that creates value by transforming inputs into finished goods and services outputs. For manufacturers, the products are obvious: cars, cell phones, or food products. After all, manufacturing organizations produce physical goods. It’s easy to see the operations management (transformation) process at work in these types of organizations because

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.

It is important to standardize service performance processes throughout organizations that deliver services to customers. This is accomplished by developing service blueprints or maps that examine:

Process Model: Process Model is a flow chart of a business that explains the process stages involved in the production of goods and services. When planning, any project system diagram is significant. This will admit displaying the organizations view about their facts and whether or not they will solve the design problem.

Waste is a non-value adding activity. 7 types of wastes: Transportation, Inventory, (Excess) Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Over-Processing, and Defects (TIMWOOD). 8th category: Unused creativity.

Identified wastes in the current processes using the seven wastes as a guide to what should be looked for. The question was asked, “Why did this waste occur?” and, “What can be done to prevent it?”.

A business process combines manual and automated tasks that ultimately add measurable value to a product or service. A model for business model diagram of these manual and automated processes is a picture of the business process works as is or should work in the future to be. To develop an effective application that optimally supports the business process. Business process analysis identifies bottlenecks in efficiencies disconnects and other problem areas. Developers need solution functional and non-functional requirements to develop or modifying application. A good business process implementation will increase the visibility of the company’s activities making it easy to monitor and control the critical business processes of the company. It provides management with an increased ability to identify bottlenecks, make improvements that needed and reassigned resources to meet customer demand. It also provides an increased to identify further areas of optimization that will provide customer satisfaction or lower transaction

Flowcharts are used to explain a process clearly using symbols and text at a single glance. Another type of mapping that can be utilized is hierarchical process mapping. This type of mapping differs from others because it shows relationships with a supporting process. This form also provides links for presenting process records. Some people may believe that this type of mapping is more complicated. It creates a visual version of the work flow that occurs within a process. This process can either be operational or business. This is presented in a top-to-bottom diagram. It depicts the process in more detailed as the user moves through the different levels (Pojasek, 2005.)

Our rehabilitation centre offers simple services that vary from our clients' needs. We cater clients that were consulted by our physicians, but we also accept referrals from other accredited professionals outside our organization.

As time progress every business can find ways to be more efficient and effective. This can be achieved by analyzing each step of the process and find ways to eliminate "waste". "Waste" can be define here as variables of but limited to time, raw materials, employees, steps in the process, and or

Those five levels are the microsystem, the mesosystem,the exosystem, the macrosystem and the chronosystem. The microsystem is what would be considered where people experience their daily lives. The microsystem is also where the child plays an active role. For example, parent’s behavior affects their child,

Chapter five focuses primarily on processes and explains why the process is the key to success. Processes are the policies, tasks, and procedures that are used in the Quality Service system to deliver service.

There are different types of waste which result from over production, unnecessary motion, and wasted inventory, production of defective components, transportation and also over processing. The main aim is to eliminate all these kinds of waste.

Mike Rother and John Shook were asked to use their knowledge of Toyota practices to create a simple tool for managers to enable them to see the flow of value. They came up with Value Stream Mapping. This lean tool can help companies optimize their production in such a way that it results in drastic reduction in cost and throughput time and also improved quality.

Another concept from class is the application of key information technology systems a company will employ that helps them manage these daily operations effortlessly. This can be done with the use of service technology applications, in process technologies applications, and information technology (IT) applications. All three will have a direct bearing on productivity, costs, and effectiveness. While, product and service technologies help the company develop new products, services, and processes. Process technology represents the methods, procedures, and equipment the company will use in order to produce the goods and
