This is the process by which an organization can do the following:
arrow Identify and Evaluate How Well Existing Processes Are Achieving Organizational Goals
arrow Suggest Ways of Streamlining/Optimizing Processes

 

Workflow Analysis is accomplished by:

arrow Breakdown Process into Component Parts
arrow Map (Schematize) The Process(es)
 

 

A proper Workflow Analysis offers several benefits.

First, it identifies what an organization does / how they do it (processes) and the costs associated with those processes. By doing this, we are able to identify and eliminate problems such as “bottlenecks” and “redundancies” within the system.

The Workflow Analysis will illustrate how we should be doing things and shows the changes needed to maximize resources (both personnel and material). It brings to light any obstacles to the proper implementation of changes and allows the organization to quantify the projected cost benefits.

In other words, the Workflow Analysis is the tool that allows the organization to streamline its processes and realize the associated savings!!!

 
Image-based Workflow
Designed to automate the flow of paper through an organization, by transferring the paper to digital "images".

 

Form-based Workflow
flow Designed to intelligently route forms throughout an organization. Forms are automatically routed according to the information entered on the form. In addition, these form-based systems can notify or remind people when action is due.

 

Coordination-based Workflow
Designed to facilitate the completion of work by providing a framework for coordination of action. The framework is aimed to address business processes, rather than the optimization of information or material processes.
 

 
When evaluating Workflow, it is important to remember that software and computers are simply tools used to assist the user.
