Business Process Reengineering - Logistics & Distribution - Australia
Overview:
Managed a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) project for an Australian based international transport and logistics company. The firm had recently acquired a similar organization and as part of the integration of this business needed to reengineer the end-to-end parcel acceptance processes. In addition to integrating the new business, the key driver was to improve overall customer satisfaction.
High level approach:
-
Clarified and locked the project scope with the Executive Management team.
-
Drafted project charter and project approach documents, then conducted one-on-one meetings with the key executives to gain their input and support.
-
Ran workshops with relevant staff to brainstorm process weaknesses and strengths from both organizations.
-
From these workshops, identified client team members for the project team.
-
Tailored a proven BPR methodology for the project team to document “As Is” and develop “To Be” processes (narratives, polices & flowcharts).
-
Determined how the process changes will affect existing technology.
-
Managed the technical changes (outsourced to 3rd Party)
-
Managed the subsequent pilot program to test/refine the new processes.
-
Handed over the pilot results and implementation plan to rollout new processes and technology to the Executive.
