Words to study
Workflows are useful for ensuring that important processes are done the right
way every time. For example, you may want to define a process workflow for
onboarding new employees to ensure that all new employees get the
information, policies, and resources they need to do their jobs.
The concept of workflows can be traced to Frederick Taylor and Henry Gantt,
two mechanical engineers in the early 20th century who sought to improve
10
industrial efficiency. Their work led to time and motion studies, which measure
the time it takes employees to complete a task or a series of tasks in order to
find ways to eliminate redundant or wasteful motion, thus defining a process
that employees should follow to perform their jobs as efficiently as possible.
Additionally, Henry Gantt created the Gantt chart—a bar chart used to
visually track tasks and milestones in a project schedule. Gantt charts have
been used for decades to manage major projects, including the construction
of the Hoover Dam and the Interstate Highway system.
As industry and manufacturing grew, so did the workforce. The Gantt chart
helped business managers and owners to figure out the most methodical and
streamlined ways to get work done. Working with Gantt charts, managers
were able to understand and track:
11
Why do you need workflows?
You may have a good idea of what you need to do to get your job done,
and you might be resistant to being tied to a strict process. That is
understandable because people generally don’t like change. Often people
get locked into thinking that what they are doing is the best way because it’s
the way they’ve always done it.
A workflow can be designed for one person or for a group of people whose
roles and assigned depend on each other to complete the project. For
example, a simple workflow could describe the process for approving
content in a software installation guide:
Writing down the steps is not exactly a workflow, but it is a good start.
Formalizing and visualizing these workflows, like the example shown below,
will help others understand these processes and make your business more
efficient. We’ll show you how to diagram a workflow a little later.
12
Eliminate redundant processes and activities
Startup companies are usually small and have fewer processes and activities
in place than more mature enterprises. Using workflow diagrams and
updating them as the company grows can help you more easily detect
redundancies and eliminate waste better than simply observing and trying to
track workflows with your eyes.
A workflow diagram can help you define best practices and streamline your
business operations. As processes are streamlined and work gets done faster,
you may find that you need fewer resources to get the job done. This can
lower your costs as your profits increase because you can still meet the same
goals and objectives with fewer resources.
In the old days, like the ’80s, workflow diagrams (or flowcharts) were drawn
on paper, if they were drawn at all. It was a real chore to update these
13
diagrams to address changes in processes. Because of this, some businesses
were “set in their ways” and were inflexible and slow to respond to changing
markets and evolving customer demands.
14
Automate processes
Business process workflows can help you see places in your operation that
can be automated. For example, customer care procedures can trigger
certain actions, such as emails and special offers, that will encourage
customers to buy again. This type of automation can free up salespeople to
concentrate on finding new customers and leave customer care associates
to address any issues or problems that customers may face.
A workflow can help you see where to automate simple tasks such as
sending work items from one employee to the next in a process that requires
several people to complete specific tasks in a specific order. Automation
makes it easy to analyze business operations, see trends, prepare for risks, and
plan for expansion.
It is making sure your orders are fulfilled in the most efficient way, without
interruptions, delay, or stress.
Maybe your production flow just needs a few tweaks. Either way, proper
production planning and scheduling is absolutely necessary.
15
It takes solid management with the right production planning and scheduling
software. Do this well and watch as every part of your order fulfillment
process work together, as they should.
Without a solid plan to manage and schedule production, even the simplest
business can get turned around.
There are many production planning tools available on the market. The
problem is that most of these tools are geared towards large manufacturing
businesses. This makes them too complex for a business’ needs. On the other
side of the scale, there is off-the-shelf software like Excel. This is not robust
enough for effective production planning and leaves you few chances to
analyze and optimize your processes.

Team members;
Workstations;

2. Routing

3. Scheduling
When an unusually large order comes in, you don’t have to estimate or
guess, as you have “the knowledge” — the recipe for everything your
businesses produces — at your disposal.
4. Execution
Small inefficiencies may not be noticeable at first. But allow them to continue,
then it will grow into a big one. This leads to bottlenecks in your production
process. Bottlenecks are slow spots in your production line. They can cause
significant issues in your production flow
Using production planning software helps you break this process down into
manageable pieces. It saves operation managers time when finding ways to
optimize the production flow. It allows you to stay on top of your floor-level
management.
Some may think that you can rush over management or sweep strategy
under the rug.
17
Make no mistake:
If this is not followed, your products are sure to drop in quality. Without a
proper process, your standardized practices are sure to be forgotten.
Crew Management
Use your team well. Your people are a valuable asset to your business. They
play a key part in manufacturing process optimization. Make it your business
to know your people, including their strengths and weaknesses.
This way, you can assign each team member to the most suitable tasks and
machines. If someone is sick or goes on holiday, you have the additional
capacity to make up for the temporary loss.
Effective production planning allows you to get the most out of your people
and machines. Every team member knows the tasks assigned to them, and
what their expected output is.
Keeping tabs on how this process lets you compensate for shortfalls and keep
up with high demand.
Running at Capacity
Is your workshop constantly running at 100% of its output? It only takes a minor
bump to bring things to a grinding halt.
18
A good rule of thumb is to always make sure your maximum output is a little
higher than what you are doing now. If you do receive an unusually large
order or two, you will be glad you prepared. The same goes for your team as
they have enough resources to do their job on time.
Raw Materials
Manufacturing process planning software can integrate MRP. This means you
can have the required raw materials available at all times. You never have to
push back production because of supply order delays. Priority deadlines do
not have to be set back due to undersupply.
Workshop Logistics
The logistical flow of each part in your manufacturing process also requires
consideration.
Many a production line has come grinding to a halt as one weak link has
been placed on the wrong stage.
It may be that a more efficient layout or order exists for your business.
Sometimes making a small change can make a world of difference to your
production schedule.
Problem Solving
Trial-and-error problem solving costs your business money through each failed
attempt. Over ordering or overproducing is a band-aid solution, as this leads
to extra costs or staff burnout.
19
In order to get to the root of a problem, you need effective software to track
your flow and find production scheduling issues.
