Business process assessment
Consulting for Naval Architecture
NDAR provides Business Process Assessment (BPA) consulting to shipyards, naval architects, marine engineers and offshore companies seeking to optimise their internal workflows. Furthermore, our Business Process Assessment service draws on NDAR’s 30+ years of experience in naval architecture and shipbuilding software integration.
BPA is directly aimed at mapping out a company’s processes to a previously agreed level of detail.
The immediate benefit of a BPA service is the identification of objective and subjective bottlenecks, inefficencies, process mismatches, unjustified overwork, etc.
Identification of potential remedial actions is intrinsic in a BPA and these are documented consistently with the depth at which the BPA’s is carried out.
BPA can last from 2-3 days to much longer periods. BPAs should ideally be caried out on site but a considerable amount of work can be carried out remotely too in which case the duration of the service might be slightly longer.
A formal report concludes the BPA.
It is customery to carry out follow-up BPAs every few months. Follow-up BPA will entail a smaller effort than the first one.
What a Business Process Assessment Delivers
A NDAR BPA is designed to deliver clear, actionable insights:
- Mapping of company processes at a previously agreed level of detail
- Identification of objective and subjective bottlenecks
- Detection of inefficiencies and process mismatches
- Identification of potential remedial actions
- A formal report at the conclusion of the engagement
Moreover, follow-up BPA engagements are typically lighter than the initial one. As a result, customers can maintain continuous improvement over time.
