The plan focuses on enhancing enterprise process management by measuring key performance metrics. These metrics, such as Process Efficiency Ratio and Employee Productivity Index, are vital as they provide insights into how efficiently resources are used and how productive the team is.
Monitoring the Process Cycle Time and Process Compliance Rate ensures that processes are completed swiftly and adhere to standards, minimizing delays and discrepancies. A low Quality Defect Rate signifies high-quality outputs, reducing rework and customer complaints, leading to increased client satisfaction.
