Introduction and challenges<\/b><\/h2>\n

Improving efficiency, increasing productivity, boosting quality, streamlining the process for those who operate it and for those who benefit from it; these are the objectives pursued by business process optimisation (BPO) projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPO approaches generally rely on lean management and six sigma techniques to optimise processes by streamlining, removing low value-added activities, standardising, industrialising and automating activities. They pursue the more global objective of transforming company culture and enabling a culture of hunting and eliminating non-value tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Process mining plays an increasingly important role, not only in analysing the process and identifying its potential for optimisation, but also in ensuring the new operating procedures are properly applied.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BPO projects are generally carried out in a broad context, for example enabling or bringing a transformation project to fruition (shared services, post-merger integration, ERP). They can also be carried out with the aim of generating profit without requiring a change in organisation or information systems (less frequent).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As transformation is not an objective in itself, it is important to define indicators and a performance target, on the basis of both internal and external benchmarks, then empower the actors in the process before measuring the benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How we can help<\/b><\/h2>\n

For each process, Argon & Co mobilises functional and sectoral experts. We adopt a pragmatic approach, aimed at achieving quick savings but also making the actors accountable and embedding new behaviours to ensure the sustainability of results.<\/span><\/p>\n
