Improving Workflow by Implementing a Holistic System

By Matthew Anderson



INTRODUCTION

Whether you are a small business owner or running a multiple location and division business, businesses will always have a workflow. A workflow is the execution and automation of business processes to achieve a beneficial outcome. For most businesses, this is being able to sell the product or service. Now, businesses use different strategies and methods in formulating a working workflow and efficiency and the factors vary. These factors include the use of technology, availability of resources, the level of skills the workforce have, and so on. So, it is always the goal to have an efficient workflow, to get from A to B in the shortest amount of time, at a minimal cost.

Improving Workflow Efficiency

The idea of improving workflow efficiency is to break down the process. You then document everything, identify key areas of focus and prioritize, and automate the work process. This would be easy with businesses with a very few and basic processes like retailing. But, if your business offers something unique like building insulation or fireplaces, the business workflow would be more complex. For businesses with multiple processes, improving workflow efficiency would mean evaluating and improving each process and requiring a holistic approach. Through a holistic approach, you can improve not only steps A to B but A to Z as a whole.
