Every entrepreneur wants to scale up the business irrespective of whether he is into manufacturing or services. BPA (Business Process Automation) gives you the power to grow your business on any scale. The printing industry has very complex business processes; it is both a manufacturing and service industry. It means every job is unique and has different asynchronous processes.
The dynamicity of the printing and allied processes makes it a real challenge to implement BPA.
BPA consists of digital transformation, technology-enabled automation, and simplification of complex business processes. Digital transformation means connecting the activities of the press through software, where data must flow seamlessly from one department to another with control over the quality of data and preparation of MIS reports based on the collected data.
The core objectives behind BPA should be
1. Scalability and sustainability of the organization
2. Better control over the business
3. Improve the quality of products and service
4. Better productivity and profitability
How to move on BPA …
• Management should prepare a list of clearly defined objectives
• Prepare a flow chart with roles, responsibilities, and an execution plan.
• Understand the existing processes and migrate to internationally accepted standard processes to avoid micro-customization of the software.
• Step-by-step implementation with results measured through small milestones.
• Invest adequate time to train yourself and the team passionately
• Keep the team motivated enough to enter accurate data regularly.
Conclusion:
Business process automation is going to be a necessity for every growing and forward-thinking company. It helps you to make perfect business decisions, provides you ESS (Expert Support System) and DSS (Decision Support System) to forecast future growth and scalability.
