What is meant by TARGET-ACTUAL processes?
AS-IS/TO-BE processes refer to the comparison between planned (TO-BE) and actual (AS-IS) states or workflows within a company. This comparison helps identify deviations, analyze the causes of these deviations, and develop measures for process optimization.
Typical Functions of Software in the Area of AS-IS/TO-BE Processes:
- Process Modeling: Creation of detailed TO-BE process models that represent the ideal or planned workflows.
- Process Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of AS-IS processes to capture actual workflows and performances.
- Deviation Analysis: Comparison of TO-BE and AS-IS processes to identify and analyze deviations.
- Root Cause Analysis: Identification and analysis of the causes of deviations between TO-BE and AS-IS.
- Reporting: Generation of reports summarizing deviations and their causes and suggesting corrective measures.
- Process Optimization: Development and implementation of measures to reduce or eliminate deviations to align AS-IS processes closer to TO-BE processes.
- KPI Tracking: Tracking and analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure and monitor process performance.
- Visualization: Use of dashboards and charts to graphically present AS-IS/TO-BE comparisons and deviations.
- Workflow Management: Managing and optimizing workflows based on the results of AS-IS/TO-BE analyses.
