Business Process Improvement
Over the past 10-20 years, manufacturing companies have successfully focused on productivity improvements on the shop floor. This increase in operational efficiency generated increased cash flow and enterprise value to business owners. However, one of the empirical findings of that era is that on average only 20% - 40% of non-value-added costs in a company are production related. With business processes in the office accounting for up to 80% of the improvement availability, there is a great opportunity to improve profitability, productivity, customer satisfaction and employee morale, while at the same time lower costs.
Over the years that burning platform has included challenges that include:
- Taking too long to respond to client or prospect request for proposals;
- Slow invoicing of products and services provided to clients;
- Inaccurate invoicing of products and services provided to clients;
- A product development cycle that takes too long;
- A delivery system where products don't reach clients in a timely manner
