A Fresh Approach to Efficient Processes
Many business processes evolve from a series of pragmatic decisions by end users that can be justified individually but as a whole are far from optimal.
We bring 20 years experience improving business processes and IT systems in industries including manufacturing, R&D, construction and dairy processing. Our detailed analysis has allowed transformational solutions to be developed, such as product configurators and planning optimisations that automate tasks that were previously thought to be impossible to be achieved by a computer.
Combined with world-class BA skills, we can combine off-the-shelf cloud services or bespoke software to bring radical results to your processes.
The Streamline Consulting process
01
Define Success
A process is best defined by its outcomes. These might be a physical widget, a PDF, or a customer’s perception of your business.
02
Brainstorm
We bring our innovation, knowledge of IT, optimisation techniques and AI, and combine with your in-house expertise and ideas.
03
Redesign
A prototype is built in order to reduce risk early and provide confidence that rapid results are achievable.
04
Execution
In some cases a hard switchover is necessary. But in most cases our solutions are rolled out with a soft launch. When a new process is 5x or 10x more efficient, users don’t need a lot of persuading.
Complex Business Rules?
In our projects we often come across business rules that are considered “too complex” to be improved or automated.
Our experience is that this is rarely the case, rather than the data is poorly structured or key data concepts are blurred together thwarting previous attempts to map the rules.
This is particularly true in supply chain problems, where there are numerous constraints and interactions.
Some examples of complex processes we have transformed include:
