A company can only be managed effectively with detailed knowledge of its functioning. Yet the management cannot know every detail. They mostly use the process map as a clear overview of the company´s functionality. If you want to manage your company effectively, you need to set up the process map correctly, i.e. it has to be in accord with reality, the company´s objectives, the optimized costs and, ultimately, the profit. Our consultants know how to do precisely that. 

The road to profit begins with an entrepreneurial intent. The intent is subsequently transformed into a functioning company. This step already demands definition of processes that are essential for the manufacture of products or the provision of services. At this moment, the owners and managers wrestle with many ways how to set up the individual processes and operations effectively so that the costs are the lowest and the profits are the highest. 

Setting up all the operations, processes, departments, information and material flows, costs, workers´ abilities and so on correctly is exceedingly difficult. One way how to achieve the effective result is, in general, modelling and, in particular, modelling of processes. The process approach is fairly common these days, especially because it is required by international standards, for instance, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS 9100, TS 16949 and others.

The process map  is the first step towards getting to know or setting up of the company´s functioning. It provides the management with a comprehensive picture of the company´s processes and operations, top responsibilites and the principal implementation flows among the processes. It also makes it possible for the employees to understand how the company they work for functions. Therefore, it has an irreplaceable role in training of new workers, too. 

When it is appropriate to have the process map made: 

  • when establishing a company, division, branch
  • when effecting changes in the company
  • the company to undergo restructuring 
  • creation of new products 
  • to start up the process of improvement
  • to identify bottlenecks (critical situations, risk analysis update, ...)
  • there are suspected inefficiencies in the company
  • introduction of the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS 9100, TS 16949 management systems
  • …
