BPM in 5 steps
What is the life cycle of the BPM process?
1. Design: It all starts with mapping out your process. What’s working, what’s not — and what the ideal version should look like. Define the key steps, roles, and resources needed to make it happen.
2. Model: Next, bring your process to life visually. Use BPM software to create models or diagrams that show how tasks and interactions flow from start to finish.
3. Execute: Time to put your plan into action. Integrate your new process models into your existing systems — and make sure your team is properly trained before rolling anything out.
4. Monitor: Keep a close eye on how things are running. Track KPIs, use dashboards, and spot any issues early so you can act before they become bigger problems.
5. Optimize: Take what you’ve learned and make it better. Use the data and insights you’ve gathered to fine-tune your processes and keep improving over time.
Good to know: The BPM life cycle is continuous. In modern-day workplaces, processes must continually adapt to new technologies and requirements — meaning BPM itself is also on an infinite loop.
Use cases for business process management
Services
BPM helps create a better customer experience. By automating and standardizing routine processes, your team has more time to focus on what matters most — supporting customers. With a BPM system, you can manage inbound tickets more efficiently, respond to inquiries faster and keep satisfaction levels high.
Accounting
Automate your invoice processing, payment processes and other finance processes with BPM. Automate the invoice workflow or generate automatic reports. Automation minimizes errors and increases compliance.
Human resource management
Hiring, onboarding, training, reviewing — all prime examples of optimizable processes. Standardized, digital workflows make it easier to manage employee data and reduce manual admin tasks. The resulting shorter lines of communication are key to strengthening employee retention.
Supply chain management
In logistics, BPM works by streamlining order, production, and shipping processes for maximum efficiency. Lean management empowers companies to manage their inventories with just-in-time deliveries and under optimal conditions.
Quality management
BPM is used in quality management to safeguard compliance with quality standards in business processes. The outcome: better processes for monitoring products or services. Errors and bottlenecks are detected faster than ever.
Compliance
Transparent compliance with regulatory requirements is easy with BPM. The system generates audit trails, documents changes in document processes, provides users with early risk warnings, and much more.
Why business process management?
