Business Process Re-Engineering: It’s for Everyone! Superintendent’s Leadership Conference August xx, 2014 Shirley Chang Frank Olmos Rod Freudenberg
Caution… Jargon Ahead
Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) • Analysis of workflows and business processes to make major improvements in speed, quality, cost, and customer satisfaction. • Common denominator for: • Total Quality Management (TQM) • Statistical Process Control (SPC) • ISO 9000-1 • Capability Maturity Models (CMMI) • Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award (MBNQA) • Lean Manufacturing • 6 (Six Sigma) • Lean Six Sigma • Etc.
Business Process Re-engineering • Fundamental re-thinking and redesign of how business of any kind is done(Not minor tweaking). • High leverage of technology with a focus on questioning everything about a work process before automating it. • Rooted in manufacturing (in 90’s) but applicable to every area of work, including services and education (since 2000).
Requirements of Re-engineering • Critical processes • Strong leadership • Cross-functional teams • Information technology • Clean-slate philosophy • Process analysis
Re-engineering Features • Make the customer the starting point for change • Design work processes in light of organizational goals • Restructure to support and improve front line performance
Process Capability Maturity Stages 5 4 3 2 1
DMAIC(How processes mature) Define: How does the current process work? Measure: How well is the current process working? Analyze: What are the sources of delays, errors and variability in outcomes? Improve: What are best practices and what can we do to improve it? Control: Implement and sustain change in process
BPR Management Cycle Identify and Define Processes Analyze Process “As is” Redesign process Implement, Support, Measure
What is a Business Process? • Means by which a product is produced or service delivered. • Involve: • Customer/End User • Equipment/technology, Materials, Information • Before state, Activities, After State

Identify a Process – Group Exercise • What is your product or service? • Who is your customer? • What does your customer actually want? • What is your starting point? • What is the series of actions done to deliver your product or service?
Criteria for Effective Process Typical “metrics” include: • Quality • Timeliness • Cost • Customer Satisfaction • Legal/Regulatory Accountability
Objectives of Process Analysis • Sources of variation in key metrics • Where in the process does variation originate? • Root cause analysis • Sources of inefficiency
Value-Added? • Value-added work • Produces final product or service • Improves quality, reduces error or defects • Contributes to customer satisfaction • Business required • Legally required step/documentation • Accounting, tracking, record keeping • Administratively required for process control or meeting other operational requirements • Non-value-added work (everything else!)
Improve the Process • Simplify process by: • Eliminating non-value added steps • Reducing resources used • Automating routine/cyclical operations • Standardize process by: • Role specification and clarification • Use of uniform materials and methods (supply chain mgmt.) • Documentation and training • Control the process: • Control sources of variation in quality and timeliness • Meet customer expectations consistently and predictably
Control the Process • Measure and evaluate the new process • Ensure the process is being managed and monitored properly • Expand the improved process throughout the division/organization
Final Exercise • Discuss the process you defined: • What would be some Key Performance Indicators or Metrics? • What in the process causes variation in the products or services? • What would be high-leverage steps in the process to improve quality? • What steps are: • Value-added? • Business required? • Non-value-added?
Leadership involves commitment to the destination, showing the way, keeping everyone together, and building engagement.
