Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in China, and Asia
The Challenges of a Global Workforce
AMC operates throughout Asia in developing solutions for companies which need to sharpen their ability to implement their business strategy. Our BPR group is trained in analysing your enterprise's specific challenges and assisting you to develop a more effective execution process.Building Execution Into Strategy
We work with a diverse customer base in Asia. From biotechnology firms to management and PR companies, whatever your product or service is, you need to deliver it on time, on budget. Our customers seek solutions to their not being able to consistently execute their schedules as planned.With Asia based resources you have embarked on a strategy to leverage these often times lower cost and talent-based Asian assets with your headquarters' reputation and marketing assets. Execution is essential to success.
Making Your Competition Irrelevant
In developing new products for yearly or seasonal product launches our customers come to us to help them re-engineer their internal and external business processes to ensure these new products launch on time. Some companies are involved in commercializing new technologies, spending millions of dollars on yet un-marketed products, where there is no tolerance in not being able to deliver both interim and final objectives.But meeting schedules and deadlines is only a part of what effective organizations need to develop capabilities for. Maximizing your Asian based facilities needs to provide agility and flexibility. Plans change. Strategies evolve. How adept your Asian based facilities are in preserving your strategic mid-term options will determine how close you can stay to the market and your customers. This will determine if you can make your competition irrelevant.
Leveraging Asian Based Resources
Organizational effectiveness in companies within our geography (China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia) is one of the last focus that is being applied. Lower initial costs and access to Asia based talent is usually why companies first come to Asia. But the realization is that the initial cost-benefit analysis for coming to Asia in the first place needs to be viewed in terms of how effective that organization is in leveraging these resources and developing effective product development processes to ensure success.Effective Communication With Head-Office Personnel
It is not uncommon to need to involve multi-locations across your geography to improve business processes. Your Asian based facility is not usually left in isolation, but is often a key part of your global structure. Involving Headquarters groups in process improvement is often times critical.Creating a Transformation Program
Ramping up an enterprise in China or other Asian country to meet new business opportunities is often not a straightforward process. Cultural factors are in play, but re-engineering of your local company's business strategy execution will preserve speed to market, and protect millions of dollars in investment risk.
Within your Asian based resource it is important to:
- Ensure information flows to the persons and departments that need it. Don't assume it is.
- Clarify decision rights. Do people actually understand how they are involved with the process and what they are responsible for.
- Discover and remove organizational silos that your local entity has created. Whether functional or matrix, your local organization needs to align its structure and processes to effectively implement corporate strategy.
- Shape the means by which problems in interim milestones are being detected and how resources are being managed and re-channelled to get back on schedule.
- Determine how ineffective problem resolution is impacting your implementation results.
- What are the means by which building of trust and commitment into the process is being handled. Taking ownership of ideas and processes is not best left to organizational structure. Fair Process is important to ensure your managers and staff are engaged, with clear explanations and where expectations are clarified at the very start.
