Process Management
Streamline and Automate Business
Processes
A basic principle in the business of manufacturing,
in particular, is to eliminate waste from all business and
manufacturing processes. A key component in the implementation
and management of an efficient company is the ability to automate
standard processes.
ICIS provides the power to streamline
and automate processes that are within and reach beyond the
four walls of manufacturing using custom software solutions.
The power of the development of the right solution for your
company lies in the ability to process the mundane while managing
the critical aspects of any business process. The value to
the manufacturer lies in the release of valuable human resources
and intellectual capital tied up in handling paperwork instead
of value-add activities and exceptions.
Use human capital for value-add,
not validation
For example, the process of entering an order requires several
steps. The majority of customer orders being processed only
need to be validated at these steps, while a small percentage
of these orders require human input to determine the next
appropriate step in the process. Specifically, the majority
of customer credit checks are a formality. Very little value
is added to the order process when a person manually looks
up credit status before passing the order to the next step.
Our experience has taught us that process
management solutions will perform this task and many others
like it automatically, concurrent to other activities in the
process and across the enterprise. It will filter out only
the orders that require further human input to determine acceptability.
Using application software to perform these repetitive tasks
frees human resources to do what they do best.
