Process management

Your company's business processes

  • Do you know your business process?

  • How is this modeled?

  • Is your company’s process landscape confusing, chaotic or non-existent?

  • Has the process been qualified and evaluated? For example, "ASPICE" in the automotive industry.

  • Development and documentation of your quality objectives

  • Presentation of quality management with a focus on the purpose and benefits to create a strong quality awareness among your employees.

Process model

Process and quality management work closely together. Without a business process, it is difficult, if not impossible, for a company to achieve its strategic goals.

A process is always described by an abstract model that generates the desired output from an input using roles, resources, methods and key figures.

  • The input/output can be a physical or intangible resource.

  • The roles are the people who are involved in the process according to the RASI method (Responsible, Accountable, Supported, Informed).

  • The resources include tools, buildings, machinery or infrastructure.

  • The methods describe the detailed process implementation with clear rules.

  • The key figures provide information about the process quality and are used for measurement and control.

Process interfaces

It is essential to know, understand and describe all sub-processes within the company.

The figure shows the connections and dependencies between the subprocesses. There are not only 1:1 relationships, but also 1:n, n:1, or n:m relationships between output and input.

Example: Subprocess P2 requires two outputs from P0 and P1 to generate the input for P3, P4 and P5.

A particularly important aspect in the process landscape and modeling is the interface description in order to clearly document the connections between the sub-processes.

The process in the product life cycle

Each part of the product life cycle, as shown below, is represented as a process.
