Often managers look for a quick score and even consider the elimination or reduction in headcount which can offer a quick savings, but a long-term loss to the company. Through employing business process mapping (BPM) at the organization we can reduce the non-value added task, reduce cycle time, increasing productivity, increase operational efficiency, decrease risk, increase customer satisfaction and allows the retention of staff to employ on greater program initiatives.
