We support you in the systematic planning, implementation, monitoring and optimisation of business processes. In this way, efficiency, quality and effectiveness can be increased in order to achieve your business goals.

Armin Buchner Consulting zu Prozessmanagement

The task of process management is to design, control and optimise business processes. By managing processes in companies, they can be controlled efficiently. By implementing process management, companies generate further potential - including digital transformation.

We support you in the implementation or further development of practised process management at a strategic and operational level.

Our offer:

Identifying and modelling processes

The identification and modelling of processes includes the recording and documentation of standardised procedures and forms the basis for analyses and optimisations.

The first step towards a professionally documented process is the identification and subsequent modelling of a process. The aim is to record the process as it is currently lived in practice, i.e. to record the actual process. This creates the basis for further steps such as analysing and deducing potential for improvement.

Potential services we provide to support you:

Defining and recording the current process (‘as is’ process)
Survey of existing responsibilities and systems used
Realisation of survey workshops
Support in the selection of a suitable modelling standard
Visualisation of the process in a normative logic (EPK, BPMN 2.0)
Definition of relevant process objectives and key figures

Process optimisation

Process optimisation aims to improve existing processes in order to sustainably increase quality.

Process optimisation describes a systematic approach to analyse workflows in organisations, identify weaknesses and define an improved process. The aim is to make workflows as efficient and effective as possible while at the same time avoiding wasting resources such as time, money and energy.

Do you have the feeling that there is potential for improvement in your processes?

Potential services we provide to support you:

Definition of analysis tools (e.g. Lean, Six Sigma)
Analysing the process and identifying potential for improvement
Modelling of the optimised process (target process)
Definition and preparation of a CIP and effective process controlling
Development of change management support

Process optimisation

Development of process maps

The process map is the graphical representation of a company's business processes. It provides a holistic overview of the various processes and their interrelationships.

Applying the corporate strategy to a company's processes using a process map is a key challenge in process management. The process map should provide an overview of the most important activities in the company. We support you in setting up the process map as a central control instrument in the company.

Potential services we provide to support you:

Contribution of external perspectives on existing approaches
Preparation and realisation of workshops to develop the process map
Definition of process types and process hierarchy
Assignment of existing or newly defined processes to the process map
Definition of process owners and process owners
Graphical illustration of the process map

Development of process maps

Digitalisation and automation of process management

By utilising modern technologies and digital solutions, manual processes in companies are largely automated.

The digitalisation or automation of processes means partially or fully automating existing manual processes with the help of technical solutions. This can improve efficiency, productivity and transparency in the company. We would be happy to assist you with challenges such as resistance to change, reducing complexity or integration into existing systems.

Potential services we provide to support you:

Analysis of existing processes for digitalisation potential
Support in setting up a project (or plan) to digitalise the selected processes

Support in developing of integrated management systems

Process management within the framework of integrated management systems (IMS) means aligning and optimising various business processes to meet the requirements of various management standards.

An integrated approach to process management ensures that the organisation's processes are consistent and efficient and support the overall objectives of the organisation. We are happy to support you in the process-orientated integration of related disciplines.

Potential services we provide to support you:

Consolidation of existing management systems with process management in relation to an IMS approach
Comparison of integrated management systems with external quality requirements (e.g. ISO)
Implementation of an internal control system (ICS according to COSO) for process risk management
