Three Basic Assumptions of Process Design and Principles of Innovative Process Design

Process design requires three basic assumptions:
●The enterprise system and norms are sound;
●Each position is competent;
●The process design must be implemented after approval.
Why are these three basic assumptions made? There are too many questions: Is this process feasible? Is this person okay? Does this standard exist? Or can he do it? Will he approve? Can she cooperate? ... There are so many problems like this, and we encounter them almost every day when we are discussing optimization.
Therefore, when engaging in process design, these three assumptions must be unified and a consensus must be reached, otherwise, the process design cannot proceed at all.
Process design is only the foundation and beginning of management upgrade, and its supporting projects will be launched in succession.
After the process design is approved, the system can be improved in turn. After the process is clear, it is more convenient to train employees. After the process is designed, it is not intended to be executed, so what are we busy with it? Therefore, at the beginning of the design, it is important to establish and recognize three basic assumptions.
Enterprises carry out process design, and in the face of existing practices or current work, they can be optimized after sorting out. How to design the innovation process is much more tricky. Therefore, it is necessary to unify and standardize the design principles of the innovation process.
The principles of innovative process design are as follows:
● Group discussion;
● Determine process goals; ● Determine work
principles; ●
Determine participation positions;
● Design corresponding forms; Participants draw flowcharts and write explanatory documents. A few explanations: 1. The meaning of innovation process When designing a process for any enterprise, there must be a part of the work that no one is doing now but must be done by someone in the future, then it must be creatively designed. Such a process is an innovation process.






The design innovation process cannot be completed by one person. It must be participated and brainstormed by supervisors, experienced employees, and post representatives who may undertake some specific tasks in the future, which is the well-known group work method.
2. The working principles of the innovation process
Every process has to start with a goal to be achieved. No need to repeat this. The working principle is subordinate to the process goal. When doing anything, the goals and principles are clear, and the specific steps are easy to sort out. This working principle can be proposed by one person and supplemented by others, or it can be discussed on the spot to reach a consensus. Only after the working principles are set, we can consider who will do it and how to do it. Compared with the optimal design of the current process, the biggest difference of the innovation process is the determination of the working principle. If this link is omitted, the following process will not flow.
3. It is determined that the participating positions cannot be disconnected from the current positions . Whether
it is process optimization or process innovation, its essence is to improve work efficiency through the reduction of personnel and the simplification of steps. In principle, no new positions can be added to the innovation process. For those who have previously undertaken similar jobs, the employees of the original positions shall be arranged to undertake them according to the principle of centralized work. For example, the procurement work is usually done by fixed personnel, and it is impossible to increase the procurement of a new material, so it will arrange a new position to do it. With this arrangement of personnel, I am afraid that no company can afford the expansion of labor costs.
For enterprise employees who have already carried out process design, if they understand the above three points, they will not go astray.
