What does ISO 9001 have to say about

processes?

“This International Standard promotes the use of a process based approach when developing, implementing and improving the effectiveness of a quality management

system, to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer and regulatory

requirements.

“For an organization to operate effectively, it has to establish and manage numerous interconnected activities. An activity or set of activities using resources, and managed

in order to enable the transformation of inputs into outputs, can be considered as a

process. Often the output from one process directly forms the input to the next.

“The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management to produce

the desired outcome, can be referred to as the „process approach‟”.

8 Conventional types of processes

Managerial or executive processes.

These include policymaking, implementation of objectives within the organisation

and resource allocation. They ensure the consistency of creation and support

processes. They encompass the measurement and oversight of the process system

and use of outcomes with a view to improving performance.

Creation processes.

These contribute directly to making the product, from detecting customer needs to

ensuring customer satisfaction. They encompass all activities related to the product

creation cycle.

Support processes.

These are vital to the operation of all processes, to which they provide the

necessary resources. They include activities involving:

• human resources,

• financial resources,

• facilities and their maintenance (premises, equipment, materials, software, etc.),

• Information processing.

9 FD X50-176 documentation

The process approach … consists, first, of

reporting on the operations of an organisation’s

activities using the concept of process - a set of

correlated activities having one and the same goal,

such as the creation of a product or a service,

formulation of a product line, making resources

available, etc., which leads to the modelling of an

organisation‟s operations as a system or network of

interacting processes. The customer, whether

external or in-house, lies at the heart of the

process concept: it is the value added supplied to

customers that ensures the effectiveness of the

process, and the optimisation of resources used

that makes it more efficient, thus helping to

enhance overall competitiveness. (FD X50-176. Introduction.)

10 The goals of a “process approach”

To undertake a “process approach” entails

investing a little time to expand knowledge

and take control of how a firm‟s various

functions are actually and concretely carried

out.

The goal of an organisation that implements a process approach is to:

• be more responsive to the needs and expectations of customers

and other interested parties, putting them at the heart of the

organisation‟s operations;

• Implement policy and general objectives in a structured manner

at all levels of the organisation;

• optimise the achievement of results via closer involvement and co-

ordination of all parties concerned.

(FD X50-176. Introduction.)

11 Before beginning a “process approach”

The process approach entails observing all correlated sets of activities

involved in the organisation‟s operations and production, defining processes

and then identifying those that make the greatest contributions to the

overall objectives of the organisation.

Identifying processes requires that these overall objectives:

• stem from strategic thinking, based on medium- and long-term visions

of what the organisation wishes to become, in accordance with the

expectations of customers and other interested parties and the

orientations selected for achieving the objectives,

• be fixed, formalised, known and implemented at all operational levels

of the organisation.

The paramount importance of modelling: representing the enterprise 15

Why should the process system (interactions between the

firm‟s various functions) be modelled?

Just one representation of the enterprise is not enough!

A conventional organisation chart alone, even if it conveys hierarchy and

function, is not enough to relate what really takes place within an

enterprise, what it produces and, above all, for whose benefit.

The “process approach”: open the boxes! 22

Once the general map of the firm‟s processes has been drawn, the description

of those processes begins. Which should be done first?

The inventory of processes is performed:

By listing:

• customers and their expectations,

• products and the corresponding requirements,

• the organisation‟s activities

By identifying correlations between activities pursuing a

common goal.

(FD X50-176 5.3.1.)

The aim is to identify the processes most significant to the organisation in

terms of their impact on one or more of the following criteria:

• achievement of strategic management objectives,

• contribution to turnover and operating profits,

• satisfaction of customers and other interested parties,

• the organisation‟s long-term performance,

• management of risks and opportunities, especially at the level of managing

interactions between processes. (FD X50-176 5.3.2.)

Describing a process: what does FD X50-176 advise? 23

Throughout the undertaking, it is necessary to define and update the characteristics of each

process, identifying:

• its title, which should convey its usefulness: it can be labelled with an action verb (e.g. preparing an order),

• its goals, which determine the raison d’être of the process,

• its customers (in-house and external), • its pilot,

• the parties involved in carrying it out,

• its inputs, indicating any that might trigger process implementation,

• its outputs, which constitute the “production” of the process, whether they be tangible products, related services or information, such as recordings,

• its specific resources, essential for completion, whether material, informational or human

(agents, services, experts, etc.), • its objectives and indicators of outcome and operation,

• its steering mechanisms: by which specific mechanisms (who, what, how, when, etc.) can the

process be steered? (e.g.: process review, analysis of indicators, etc.), • its crucial or risky stages: stages that require particular monitoring because experience shows

that these are moments or actions that may jeopardise successful completion of the process,

• its interactions with other processes and the contents thereof: it may be useful to

“contractualise” conditions for swapping elements between processes and to associate indicators with adherence to reciprocal commitments,

• its reference documents: procedures, operating methods, special instructions describing

criteria for successful completion.

39 Mapping processes for a theatre

What questions should be asked before starting the map?

• What do we do?

• What is the core of our business?

• What are our products / services?

• Who are our customers?

• Which products / services for which customers?

• What is our “environment”?

• etc.
