Advantage takes a practical view of business improvement; for us it is about defining an insightful and detailed approach that leads to a successful conclusion. This approach is described below:
Collaboration
Involvement of the right people at the right time is paramount to the success of any project. We will work with you to determine the right approach for meeting your project objectives. Advantage's proven experiences can help you manage a successful outcome to your project, benefiting your business and customers.
Compliance
Business today is complex, challenging and the pace of change is dramatic. The ever-increasing myriad of standards and legal requirements that businesses need to comply with means, that the job of understanding and controlling a business is becoming ever more demanding. We at Advantage believe that business processes are Key to helping organisations excel and sustain by adopting these requirements in a way that benefits their business. Legislations and standards include FSA regulations, Sarbanes-Oxley, SA 8000, ISO 9000, ISO 17799, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, Business Excellence Model, just to name a few.
Management
Success of process management is building the foundations of a good business management system that achieves its business objectives. To achieve this we help our customers to align their business processes with their business strategies and link results through to key performance indicators. As part of our solution, we can work with you to produce a central Business Process Portal that empowers users to easily access, understand, follow and improve their processes. This encourages ownership and provides a mechanism for giving feedback to promote change management and continual improvement.
Performance
Measurement of how well your processes are contributing to your business is important to understanding which processes need to be reviewed and improved. We will help you identify the best approach in analysing your processes and identifying the most appropriate methods and frameworks for measuring, for example: Business Excellence Model, Balanced Scorecard, Capability Maturity Model, Six Sigma and Lean, benchmarking, best practice, just to name a few.
Improvement
We will assist you to identify the best approach to determine which processes can be improved to increase your productivity and reduce your operating costs. Prioritising the improvements from the analysis in line with business strategies, objectives and customers needs, will support the justification of the improvement project. We can help you with all aspects of your improvement initiative from project planning through to implementation and review.
Tools
As part of our approach, we have developed our own process tool set QMAP. This product suite helps you to optimise your business processes, increase productivity and deliver greater profitability, whilst fulfilling your corporate obligations. Our suite of software solutions enables you to implement, manage and improve your business processes enterprise wide.
