Process Mapping for Process Improvement

Introduction

Process Mapping for Process Improvement Certification is the most professional, comprehensive, and effective business process mapping method available anywhere. This is a 5-day online course that teaches students how to develop a detailed & thorough process map, analyze supporting process information, define business system connectivity, identify Red Clouds (improvement opportunities), and build an actionable 90-day process improvement plan.

Our 30 years of experience has taught us that over 70% of all improvement opportunities are directly related to broken business processes. Most processes are undefined, missing metrics, loaded with non-value added work, disconnected from customers, and lacking accountability. Reliable and capable processes drive high performing business execution. Students quickly learn a fast, powerful, and sustainable method to define and improve business processes.


Who Should Attend?

Professionals who want to acquire a better process mapping method for defining and improving business processes throughout the organization. In particular, this certification will benefit process improvement professionals who are currently using swim lane diagrams or other more limited mapping tools and desire a more robust and effective method for driving enterprise improvement in a systematic and sustainable way.

The Perigon® Playbook

The Perigon® Playbook includes BEM’s proprietary design of templates, symbols, stencils, matrices, instructions, and best practices using Microsoft Visio and Excel. It becomes a process manual comprised of four sections:

  • 1. SCORECARD summarizes process characteristics,
  • 2. ARCHITECTURE MAP shows the process SIPOC - suppliers, inputs, (high level) process, outputs, and customers,
  • 3. PROCESS MAP details process tasks, decisions, and inputs and outputs, and
  • 4. KNOWLEDGE MATRICES contain analysis of process characteristics, including information, responsibilities, transactions, value, metrics, Red Clouds, and the Process Improvement Plan.

The Perigon® Playbook contains an organization’s intellectual property that enhances enterprise value.
