State of the art software development in business processess to achieved dramatic improvement in critical, contemporary measures of performance such as cost, quality, service and speed. | Put simply, it's a change in the way we approach evaluating what needs to be reviewed. We no longer look a business task, but at business processes. Processes are collection of activities that take one or more kinds of inputs and create outputs of value to the customers. Here's a simple example : Instead of having one person screw one bolt onto an engine, an engine team is given the responsibility of putting together an entire engine in the most effecient way they can. The team ensures that quality is built into the engine. Technology has helped drive radical redefinition of business. To empower these teams, we must make sure that the information they require is available when they need it. If a team that builds machinery can see upcoming week's order, they can reset the schedule to create similar machines in First In/First-out manner. With this power, they can actually produce more machines in a shorter span of time. |
