Business Process Improvement

Some tough questions. Do you process documents with pen and paper? Do you know when outstanding invoices need to be paid? Do you know where things are in your back office processes or on the growth side of your business?

Consider how Moen, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of plumbing supplies, faucets and sinks, saves $8,000 each month from AP process automation. Moen had integrated with SAP, but AP had little visibility into document-based tasks. Hyland’s OnBase was a smart software solution, because it has a tight integration with SAP. Moen saves $8,000 each month because of their new, streamlined invoice processing and they noticed other benefits as well.

“We don’t have piles of paper sitting on our desks anymore. We know at any given time what each person has in his or her queue, what problems they may have and what might not be getting done,”  said Wendy Cambarare, Accounts Payable manager, Moen.

Business process improvement takes many forms from AP to powering your businesses’ engines of growth. The first step to an effective process improvement strategy is to identify what processes would benefit most from optimization. Because process improvement can be applied to just about any branch or department within your enterprise, it can be challenging to figure out where to begin. An audit of your enterprise can be done to locate exactly where the bottlenecks are that are slowing down your business processes. Once discovered these impediments are the valuable gems of improvement that can facilitate improvements within your organization.

Making the case for process improvement is often the least difficult obstacle for your team to agree on. The real challenge is auditing your company. So how does an organization go about auditing its own systems from top to bottom? Find a fresh set of eyes.
