How to define BPI (Business Process Improvement)?
A business activity or process's BPI guides to service upgrades, quality improvements, productivity gains and cost reductions.
Many businesses start a BPI program to refine their functional performance and gain a competitive edge in the industry.
Process Excellence Capability Assessment
It is not sp easy or a one-time occurrence to achieve process excellence. It's an adventure. Corresponding to your present level of the process concentration and maturity, it could take months or even years.
Are you aware of your position? Take the PEX assessment from Milestone Technocrat to
- Recognize your existing PEX potential.
- Find out the way how you compare to other businesses in your field.
- Find out the way how to close the gap between where exactly you stand now and where you can go in future.
- Learn how to lay a solid foundation for future success.
- Receive a tailored report outlining the steps you may take to achieve long-term business success.
BPI Service Overview
Our strategy to the BPI adds value to the business by developing a long-term framework, created for improvement and a culture of process excellence over the organisation.
While Six Sigma is commonly linked with Milestone Technocrat, the fundamental business process improvement technique is DAERC (Define, Assess, Examine, Review, and Control). DAERC is a data-driven, tried-and-true technique. It can also be scaled to fit your desired process improvement program's scope and depth.
BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT DISCIPLINES
While each field (Lean, Rapid Improvement, Six Sigma) can function independently, they can complement one another as well. We'll use the BPI principles, as well as DAERC, or a blend of disciplines, corresponding to your needs.
Lean
- How to Define
The customer-centric methodology for eliminating waste and continuously improving operations.
- Philosophy
Increase consumer value while reducing non-value-adding and waste ventures.
Six Sigma
- How to Define
Drive process improvements through controlling variance and eliminating faults.
- Philosophy
To achieve consistent and predictable results, all processes are specified, measured, evaluated, improved, and managed.
Rapid Improvement
- How to Define
Just-Do-It or Kaisen are examples of streamlined fast improvement frameworks. It is intended to address issues that are easily obvious and be execution-oriented.
- Philosophy
Fixing known troubles with evident short solutions that are simple to implement is a simple tactical priority.
Overview of Lean
Lean is a concept for running a business that is basically about creating value for customers in a workplace while treating employees with respect. It seems more than merely a selection of resources, methods, and tasks. Lean thinking shouldn't just be something you do; it should become who you are.
Lean Process
Value
To a consumer, correctly specify the product/service value.
Perfection
Wast removal as a continuous process in the pursuit of perfection
Value Stream
Determine the value stream and eliminate waste (Muda)
Pull
Only the command "Pull" started the action
Flow
Allow uninterrupted product flow and remove non-value-added processes.
Six Sigma Overview
A Six Sigma process is one in which 99.99966 percent of all production opportunities are expected to be defect-free.
Six Sigma drives process refinements by controlling variance and minimizing faults. To achieve consistent and predictable results, all processes are specified, measured, evaluated, improved, and managed.
Six Sigma entails forming a team of masters in the quality management approaches based on statistical, empirical techniques within a business.
All Six Sigma project will utilize a set of pre-defined steps and has pre-determined value targets, such as:
- Shorten process average cycle time
- Reduce emissions and save money.
- Improve profits
- Rise customer satisfaction
Six Sigma is the one where 99.99966 percent of production opportunities are predicted statistically to be defect-free.
Overview of Rapid Improvement
When a problem is well-defined and a solution is already known, the technique of rapid improvement is used.
Streamlined fast improvement frameworks like Just Do It or Kaizen are specifically designed to address issues that are readily obvious and become action-oriented. They have a straightforward tactical goal: to solve known issues with evident short solutions that are simple to deploy and pose little risk.
The DAERC methodology is not required for all challenges. Just Do It or Kaizen are the tactical approaches to rapid improvement that generate benefits quickly.
