Mini-Process Streamlining Timeline
Prior to Mini-PS Launch
- Identify Start and End of Process parameters
- Pre-map process and collect any forms or documents currently used
Training / Verify Mapping
- Training
- Verify mapping of current process
- Identify attributes for each step
- Note process problems by stakeholder
- Note streamlining solutions
Streamlining
- Apply streamlining principles to identify additional solutions
- Map streamlining solutions
- Note why new solutions are better
Finalize Recommendations
- Continue work from previous days
- Reconcile and finalize recommendations
- Review / draft report (report evolves over the course of the Mini-PS)
Mini-Process Streamlining
How well are we doing the things we do?
A Mini Process Streamlining (Mini PS) project is focused on making quick but significant improvements to a discrete business process by improving its individual steps incrementally.
The scope of a Mini-PS is typically much narrower than for a full Process Streamlining project.
Goals
The primary goals of a Mini-PS are:
- reducing time
- reducing complexity
- eliminating bureaucracy within individual process steps
Approach
Working full time for four days, a seconded team of four-to-six members is charged with streamlining a process (see timeline at right). The team's recommendations must be implementable within 90 days.
