Process Analysis Tools

Flowchart: Diagram showing the various steps of the process, including the materials and services entering and leaving the process (input and output), decisions to be made, stakeholders, time measurements related to each step and / or process

Failure Mode Impact Analysis (FMEA): Identify all possible failures in the design, manufacturing, or assembly process or product or service, investigate the outcome or influence of these failures, identify the highest priority failure Step by step way to eliminate or reduce faults from

Error proofing: Use any automatic device or method to prevent errors from occurring or to cause errors as soon as errors occur.

Pasta map: A pasta map is a visual representation of the path through which a continuous streamline is used to track the passage of an item or activity. Continuous process lines enable process teams to identify opportunities to accelerate workflow redundancy and process flow.

Process analysis is a general term for analyzing workflows within an organization. It can be used as a tool to understand, improve, and manage business processes. Thus, process analysis is an analysis focused on advancing work from one person to another, while describing input, output, various steps, and in some cases resource usage. Simply put, process analysis is about "how things are done" or "how things go". This includes analysis of specific processes, or complex analysis of all processes within the organization.

By understanding the business analysis tools, designers can acquire new understanding and common language with colleagues in the business department, but can also take advantage of new tools in the design process. In the commercial design project of Hyper Island, we decided to "crack" the SWOT analysis and combine it with the elements of Value Proposition Canvas to make it a design analysis tool. For each concept, you need to add Post-It to every S / W / O / T quadrant. This is okay, but hackers are not over yet. Looking at all of Post-It, while certain advantages are more important than others, it is safe to think that some weaknesses are more important than others and that the other two are the same is. In the second half of the exercise, prioritize and prioritize these factors for a clear analysis. In this part we decided to use the Customer Profile Tool element of the Value Proposition canvas.

Process analytics tools - If you want to understand some of the workflows and processes, draw the steps of the process in order, such as the materials and services entering and leaving the process, the decisions, and people involved in the process. Time included in the step and / or measurement of the process. Phase in identifying all obstacles that may occur in the design, manufacturing or assembly process or product or service, investigate the impact or impact of these obstacles, eliminate or reduce obstacles from the highest priority failures To do. If you use an automated device or method to disable errors, errors will be displayed as soon as errors occur. Team Engagement Tool - When you work alone, you may decide based on the results. When you lead the team, you will not only be judged by the results, but will also evaluate how these results are executed.
