Process Optimization & Automation

Automating a broken process makes it faster at being broken. We optimise processes first, eliminating waste, reducing steps, and improving logic, then automate the optimised version.

// Key benefits

What makes this service valuable

Process mapping and analysis

We map current-state processes in detail, every step, every decision, every delay, and quantify the cost and risk of each element.

Waste elimination before automation

Non-value-adding steps, redundant approvals, and unnecessary data entry are eliminated before automation design begins. Automation amplifies process quality, not just speed.

Future-state design

Redesigned process flows are documented and validated with stakeholders before automation is implemented, ensuring the automation serves the right goal.

// Details

Fix the process, then automate it

Process optimisation before automation is the highest-leverage intervention in any automation programme. A process that takes 10 steps might be reducible to 5, and automating 5 steps is both cheaper and more reliable than automating 10.

We apply Lean and Six Sigma principles to identify waste, redesign the process, validate with stakeholders, and then automate the optimised version.

// What this includes

  • As-is process mapping (BPMN or swimlane)
  • Bottleneck and waste identification
  • Time and cost analysis
  • Future-state process design
  • Stakeholder validation
  • Automation design for optimised process
  • Before/after ROI measurement

// Deliverables

What you receive

// In practice

How process optimization & automation engagements run

Value-stream maps identify wait time and rework loops before any bot is built — often eliminating steps beats automating them. Lean/Six Sigma metrics (cycle time, defect rate) are captured in the current state and targeted in the future state. Automation scope covers only the optimised path; change management includes SOP updates for staff.

// FAQ

Common questions about process optimization & automation

How do you quantify process waste?+

We calculate the cost of each step: average handling time × cost per minute × volume per month. We also measure error rates and their downstream cost, and wait time (time steps sit with no processing). This gives a full cost picture before and after optimisation.
