Allfields has a systematic approach to what is often collectively known as Business Process Mapping. Allfields works with Process Models, Value Stream Mapping, and Workflows

Business Process Mapping

Business Process Mapping refers to the activities involved in defining exactly what a business entity does, who is responsible, to what standard a process should be completed and how the success of a business process can be determined.

A business process illustration will then be produced, and there can be no uncertainty as to the requirements of every internal business process.  The first step in gaining control over an organization is to know and understand the basic processes.

The entity can then work towards ensuring its processes are effective (the right process is followed the first time), and efficient (continually improved to ensure processes use the least amount of resources).


The goals of a process model are to be:

  •     Descriptive

Track what actually happens during a process.

Takes the point of view of an external observer who looks at the way a process has been performed and determines the improvements that have to be made to make it perform more effectively or efficiently.

  •     Prescriptive

Defines the desired processes and how they should/could/might be performed.

Lays down rules, guidelines, and behavior patterns which, if followed, would lead to the desired process performance. They can range from strict enforcement to flexible guidance.

  •     Explanatory
Provides explanations about the rationale of processes.

Explore and evaluate the several possible courses of action based on rational arguments.

Establish an explicit link between processes and the requirements that the model needs to fulfill.

Pre-defined points at which data can be extracted for reporting purposes.
 
Value Stream Mapping

Value Stream Mapping is a Lean technique used to analyse the flow of materials and information currently required to bring a service to a consumer.

Workflow

A workflow is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, work of a simple or complex mechanism, work of a group of persons, work of an organization of staff, or work of  machines.

Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work, segregated in workshare, work split or whatever types of ordering. For control purposes, workflow may be a view on real work under a chosen aspect, thus serving as a virtual representation of actual work.

A workflow is a model to represent real work for further assessment, e.g. for describing a reliably repeatable sequence of operations.  Workflows are designed to achieve processing intents of some sort, such as physical transformation, service provision, or information processing.
