#analyze a process

Business process analysis is an analysis method that helps to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a process. It assesses how well the process achieves its end goal by examining every part of the structure including the process itself, participating parties, and information exchange.

A sales clerk spending 10 minutes daily fetching printouts wastes 50 minutes weekly; multiply by number of clerks and you lose hours of productive time. Workflow analysis identifies bottlenecks, redundant tasks like reports never analyzed, and inefficient layouts. Small time wasters cumulatively cost businesses massive amounts, and employees complete unnecessary work simply because they were told years ago.
