UNDERSTANDING THIS FILE
This file represents a "flat" Excel-based version of the PCF. It includes a number of worksheets intended to
communicate the various aspects of the framework necessary to interpret it and make full use of its inten
capabilities.

These pages illustrate the configuration of this file. If you have further questions, please contact APQC dir
pcf_feedback@apqc.org or +1-713-681-4020.

PCF ID is the unique identifier assigned to the specific element on each row. The PCF ID is used througho
open standards benchmarking as a way to relate measures, questions, and other materials back to specifi
the PCF. The PCF ID for a process element is aligned to the specific concept identified by the process elem
be consistent across releases as long as the conceptual meaning does not change.

Hierarchy ID is the human-readable index number corresponding to this specific process element on eac
number will not be consistent across releases - meaning that a process element may have a different hier
among a set of releases.

Difference index is a score identifying the volume of changes to this process element across releases. T
only computed when a specific release is compared to another specific release. The difference index enca
the changes among all of the process element's descendents, not just the immediate children. The great
number, the more significant the changes between the two releases.

Change details is a sentence explaning the differences in the immediate child-level descendents of the
process element. A "plus" symbol ("+") before a number indicates that the specific process element was
since the last release. A "minus" symbol ("-") before a number indicates that the specific process element
removed since the last release. If the process element was renamed, the sentence will include the phrase
WAS:" followed by the name previously used by the process element. A new element is identified by the w
"NEW". A "c" before a number indicates that the specific process element changed since the compared re
saw elements added, removed, the name changed, or some combination of those three operations.

Metrics available indicates whether or not metrics are available in APQC's Open Standards Benchmarki
for this specific process element. For more information, please visit http://www.apqc.org/osb

Definition
This is the root of the PCF hierarchy
Develop vision and strategy establishes a direction and vision for an
organization. It involves defining the business concept and long-term
vision, as well as developing the business strategy and managing
strategic initiatives. Processes in this category focus on creating a
vision, a mission, and strategic objectives, and culminate in creating
measures to ensure that the organization is moving in the desired
direction.

The Define the business concept and long-term vision process group
encompasses four processes related to developing an organization’s
strategy and business design. First, the organization assesses the
external environment, which provides insight into the operating
framework. Next, the organization surveys the market, which provides
insight into business opportunities and customer desires. Third, there
is an internal analysis of the organization’s characteristics, which
assesses how it matches market requirements and opportunities; this
process results in the ability to define internal core capabilities.
Finally, the organization defines a strategic vision that states long-
term goals. This process group forms an organization’s strategic
direction.

Copyright 2016 APQC 341 of 994


Definition
The Develop business strategy process group encompasses the
development of an organization’s mission statement, strategy, and
business design. The first step is to develop a mission statement that
clarifies the reason for the organization. The next steps are to define
key steps in realizing the vision and to develop strategic options to
achieve objectives. Implications of strategic options should match the
organization’s internal capabilities, which are then transformed into a
long-term business strategy. After the organization’s strategy is
defined, functional and process strategies are developed to coordinate
with the overarching vision. Based on the requirements set through
these processes, an organizational design is created and goals are
defined. The formulation of business unit strategies is the final
process in this group.

Manage strategic initiatives focuses on actions, projects, or programs


that enable an organization to realize its strategy and achieve goals.
It includes analyzing the operating environment for the development
of strategic initiatives. Strategic initiatives are evaluated and the
most appropriate initiatives are selected for execution. It is critical to
follow the progress of execution so that the impact of the initiatives is
identified. Refer to 12.2 Manage portfolio, program, and project for
additional information on managing strategic initiatives.

Develop and manage products and services represents the process


groups "management of the product and service portfolio" and
"develop of products and services."

Copyright 2016 APQC 342 of 994


Definition
This process group encompasses all processes associated with
product and service portfolio management, including the analysis of
the current portfolio compared to market opportunities and the
definition of requirements for new/evolved products and services
using that analysis. This group also includes activities related to the
alignment of new additions to the portfolio with corporate business
strategy as well as the management of the product or service
lifecycle. Preliminary research and development falls in this group,
under 2.1.3 Perform discovery research.

The Evaluate performance of existing products/services against


market opportunities process is used to identify gaps between
existing product/service capabilities or performance levels and the
current market demand, available technologies, and customer
requirements. This process culminates in the decision of whether or
not to proceed with investments in the development of new
deliverables. Input gathered from customers through exercises such
as focus groups assess marketplace need. In addition, input can be
gathered from internal or third-party service organizations to support
the product/service evaluation. Although the marketplace may look
for new technologies or techniques to enhance existing products and
services, customers may not be willing to pay more for them.
Accordingly, remember that perfection can be the enemy of good
enough. Find out exactly what customers are willing to pay for, and
ensure that efforts do not exceed the parameters of the development
business case. This is especially important for global products where
cost and availability issues may be more apparent.

Having evaluated the market needs and specified the requirements
for new product or services, the Confirm alignment of product/service
concepts with business strategy process is a reality check prior to
significant investment by the organization. It ensures that the new
product/service concepts are in line with overall business strategy.
This process plans and develops the cost, quality, and risk targets for
the new products/services. This process can also be used in the
prioritization and timing of development activities if there are a
number of concepts vying for funding or other scarce resources. This
process is most useful when the business strategy is current. If the
strategy is outdated, this process may trigger a review of the
corporate business direction and drivers.

The Manage product and service life cycle process describes how new
products and services are conceived, introduced to the market,
supported, and retired. This process also encompasses how new
product performance in the marketplace is monitored and
continuously improved. Introduction of the new product/service may
be timed to coincide with key marketing opportunities. Products and
services should be retired when their marketplace or cost
effectiveness begins to decline below a predetermined threshold.
Once a product or service has reached marketplace maturity, its
performance indicators should be continuously refined.

The Perform discovery research process encompasses those tasks and
decisions associated with early-stage research and development—
when product/service assumptions are greater than knowledge. Based
on the gap between current product/service characteristics and
new/changing requirements (from the marketplace, customers, or
other business forces), organizations use this process to identify and
develop new technologies in support of a new product. This process
also includes an assessment of how feasible it is to incorporate those
new or potential technologies into products and services. This process
guides the funding and documentation of preliminary research and
development projects and ensures that any findings (related to
feasibility of technology or other recommendations) carry over to
stage-gate processes that drive overall product/service development.
Consider the ramifications of being too “bleeding-edge” (as opposed
to being on the leading or cutting edge) with new products. Key
stakeholders in the supply chain or marketplace may not be ready to
adopt the latest and greatest technologies, increasing the risk that the
product or service will not succeed or be adopted.

The "market and sell products and services" category contains
process groups related to understanding markets, customers, and
capabilities; developing marketing strategies; executing marketing
plans; developing sales strategies; developing and managing
marketing plans; and managing sales partners and alliances.
This process group includes all processes required to research and
understand customers, the market, and the organization’s related
opportunities. It also addresses developing and managing brands,
defining and managing a channel strategy and aggregating and
managing customer marketing. Pre-planning clinics are conducted,
demand information is collected, customer profiles are created, and
unconstrained and constrained forecasts are developed.

In the Perform customer and market intelligence analysis process, an


organization researches the market and collects/ reviews data about
its customers. This may be accomplished through surveys, secondary
research, customer feedback repositories, customer conversations,
polls, etc. Contacting and/or profiling existing customers is a key way
to determine which marketing strategies work and which do not.
During this process, the organization also looks internally at its
existing offerings and at the current business environment, gathering
data and charting trends. The information collected here will be used
in process 3.1.2 Evaluate and prioritize market opportunities. Before
starting this process, identify your target buyer, any obstacles in
reaching that buyer, and risks associated with entering that market.
Redefine this target buyer if research reveals new markets and
potential customers. Importantly, map out the customer buying cycle
during this process. Determining the customer buying cycle allows
marketing and sales to reach customers before budgets are locked
and at optimal times of the year.

Copyright 2016 APQC 347 of 994


Definition
During the Evaluate and prioritize market opportunities process, an
organization takes the information and analysis gathered in process
3.1.1 Perform customer and market intelligence analysis and
determines which opportunities exist to connect with customers in the
marketplace. Organizations typically begin by identifying where new
touch points can be gained or where new customer bases may exist.
Then, those opportunities are prioritized according to the resources,
strategic direction, and availability of the organization. Organizations
also segment customers into meaningful categories during this
process and verify that the opportunities identified can be pursued
from every angle of the business.

In this process group, an organization defines its market strategy in


concrete terms. It takes the research accomplished in process element
“develop marketing, distribution, and channel strategy” and develops
specific offerings, pricing plans, and channel strategies according to
the value these efforts would provide to the organization.

The Define offering and customer value proposition process includes


all processes necessary to develop and flesh out the details of a
customer or market offering. These offerings should address and align
with customer needs as determined in process group 3.1. This process
also includes the development and positioning of any new, related
branding for the target customer segments outlined in activity 3.1.2.2
Determine target segments. Use customer case studies and
qualifications to support your proposition.

Copyright 2016 APQC 348 of 994


Definition
In the Define pricing strategy to align to value proposition process, the
organization determines the pricing that will be applied to specific
customer offerings and gets the proper approval for that pricing plan
For many organizations, pricing is not one size fits all. In typical
business-to-business service offerings, for example, the price depends
entirely on the scope of the project or service.
A loyalty program is a key part of airline marketing, with elaborate
strategy and process for acquiring, retaining and engaging with
members
The Establish goals, objectives, and metrics for products by
channels/segments process relies on customer segments and
channels set in process groups 3.1 and 3.2. In this process, the
organization determines its priorities and the metrics that will reflect
how well those priorities are being achieved. To do this, the
organization looks at measures identified in processes 3.3.4 Establish
sales goals and measures and 3.3.5 Establish customer management
measures and applies these to specific customer segments, basing its
choices on current top goals and strategic initiatives.

In the Establish marketing budgets process, an organization ensures


that marketing plans align with business strategy and, based on those
links, determines how those plans should be budgeted. This includes
making cost assumptions, forecasting return on investment, and
attributing the costs to the appropriate areas of the business. This
process is often accomplished prior to process 3.1.1 Perform customer
and market intelligence analysis; the timing will differ from
organization to organization, depending on the budgeting schedule
and which departments handle that process.

Copyright 2016 APQC 349 of 994


Definition
During the Develop and manage pricing process, the organization
determines pricing plans for its offerings based on forecasted sales
and the characteristics of its customers. This process is ongoing
throughout the lifecycle of a product or service and depends on
market, customer, sales, and production costs. Activity 3.4.4.3
Evaluate pricing performance can be executed at any time to
reexamine pricing thresholds and schedules, and changes can be
made in activity 3.4.4.4 Refine pricing as needed.

The Track customer management measures process focuses on the


analysis of customer data in order to refine strategy and marketing
plans. These measures are primarily quantitative, but qualitative
information can be used as well. Focus on the value of customers and
their responsiveness to marketing campaigns and promotions to
determine priorities and tactics for reaching customers more
effectively.

Within the Develop and manage packaging strategy process,


organizations determine how to physically package their products to
facilitate transportation, preservation, and brand communication.
Marketing, product development, and supply chain functions typically
work together in this process to develop packaging that functions
properly (for transport, storage, delivery, etc.), informs the customer
of how to use the product, attracts customer attention, and grows
brand awareness. This process includes the planning and testing of
packaging for a product as well as the actual execution and ongoing
improvement of the packaging. Execution activities will vary by
organization depending on which departments handle the actual
design, manufacturing, and application of the physical package.
Marketing may hand off these tasks completely or may remain
involved. In any case, marketing should evaluate the effectiveness
and value of the packaging on an ongoing basis.

Definition
Process group “develop sales strategy” includes the processes for
creating concrete sales plans including forecasts, budgets,
partnerships, goals, and measures.
In the Develop sales forecast process, an organization analyzes its
historic sales order trends to generate a new forecast for the products
and services currently in the portfolio. It also looks at patterns and
results related to past promotions and events in order to predict
outcomes of those planned for the future.
The Develop sales partner/alliance relationships process deals with
the activities needed to identify, research, negotiate, and finalize
partnerships and alliances with other entities. These relationships
should further the organization’s goals and align with market strategy
developed in process group 3.2 Develop marketing strategy.

The Establish overall sales budgets process includes all activities


related to setting up a financial plan for sales. During this process, the
organization calculates revenue, costs, and profit; compares these to
forecasted and historical data; and creates a budget based on actual
and reasonable assumptions and goals
During the Establish sales goals and measures process, the
organization analyzes historical sales data and the performance of
sales personnel. It compares forecasts to actuals and looks at the
assessment of the market as created within process group 3.1
Understand markets, customers, and capabilities. Based on this
information, the organization establishes its sales goals along with
measures that align with overall business strategy.

Copyright 2016 APQC 351 of 994


Definition
During the Establish customer management measures process, the
organization analyzes historic and current customer data as well as
information related to how the organization has traditionally managed
those customers. By assessing customer behavior and forecasting
future customer attitudes and actions, the organization determines
which measures are appropriate to track customer feedback;
customer activity; organization responsiveness to customer needs;
and general data related to how the organization is managing
customer accounts, leads, and contacts. Some organizations include
customer satisfaction survey data in these measures, but the specific
measures depend on the nature of the business, the type and size of
customer base, strategic goals, as well as the model used to structure
sales and customer relationships. Performance according to these
measures is tracked and evaluated in process 3.4.6 Track customer
management measures; process 3.3.5 is concerned primarily with
identifying what the appropriate customer management measures
would be. If sales operations at an organization are linked tightly with
customer service, some of these measures may also be applied in
process group 5.3 Measure and evaluate customer service operations,
but this will depend on the interconnectedness of sales and customer
service within an organization.

Copyright 2016 APQC 352 of 994


Definition
Develop and manage sales plans includes the processes required to
manage sales on an ongoing basis. This process group covers the
activities an organization uses to sell products and services. These
processes are often highly linked to processes within categories
“deliver products and services” and "manage customer service,” and
sales must align with these categories in order to set customer
expectations appropriately. Sales staff must deal with customers
based on products and services the organization actually provides,
using the same schedule that product/service development,
production, and customer service follow. This process group also
includes some processes related to managing sales personnel and
partnerships/alliances sales may form with other entities.

The Generate leads process involves identifying viable customers


based on strategy and market research conducted in process group
3.1 Understand markets, customers, and capabilities. This process
covers the discovery of leads, whether this process is accomplished
through an IT application, cold calling, reference/network
development, or other sales methodology. Every organization can
usually generate leads, but it takes extra work to identify quality
leads. Develop a well-defined scoring model to determine which leads
to prioritize.

The Manage customer sales process includes the basic activities


required to open and close a sale. It covers initial sales calls and all
the preparatory work required to make sure that customers get the
information they need and that you completely understand what they
want before the sale is made. It also encompasses the actual closing
of the sale, along with any administrative activities related to data
entry and the processing of the sale. Entering lessons learned,
updating customer or sales information, and transferring information
to billing or other departments as part of making and closing out the
sale also fall within this category.

Copyright 2016 APQC 353 of 994


Definition
During the Manage customers and accounts process, the organization
develops and executes customer relationship management plans. This
includes the accumulation of customer data in the appropriate tools
(IT applications and systems) and the administrative management of
proactive and responsive customer contact and facilitation methods
(processes you have mapped for responding to customer inquiries and
making scheduled contact).

Once a sale has been achieved, the Manage sales orders process
begins. It involves the acceptance/validation of sales orders,
coordination with other departments required to fulfill the orders, data
entry, and follow-up activities such as inquiries and reports of
transactions.
The Manage sales partners and alliances process incorporates
activities required to manage working relationships with external sales
or channel entities. The process involves training new partners in the
organization’s offerings and sales strategy, developing a cooperative
forecast based on the expected output of the partner and their
requirements of the organization, determining appropriate
compensation, measuring and evaluating the results, tracking data,
and analyzing progress. The organization should regularly review,
prioritize, and update these partnerships in process 3.3.2 Develop
sales partner/alliance relationships.

This category includes all processes that are involved in planning,


including managing the demand for products and services, creating a
materials plan, and scheduling production to meet actual demand.
Sales and operations planning activities are included in this process
group. Key sales and operations planning activities result in the
development of the sales and production plan. The processes in this
group may be performed regularly (i.e. at the beginning of each
period).

Copyright 2016 APQC 354 of 994


Definition
“Manage demand for products and services” is the process that
defines the activities used to predict demand for products and
services, including forecast measurements (such as baseline and
consensus), collaboration with customers, and allocating available to
promise inventory or capable to promise capacity. Various types of
demand are considered in this process, including firm demand,
opportunity demand, and forecasted demand; these comprise the
overall demand plan. Note that demand management can take on a
different aspect through the use of promotions and pricing in cases
where demand must be constrained due to limited availability, or
where there is a goal to motivate purchases of certain products or
services. An important measure for this process is forecast accuracy
percentage.

The “create materials plan” process is used to source and obtain


materials needed to execute operations necessary to meet customer
demand. In products-related businesses, materials plans consider
hard goods, while in services oriented businesses, materials plans
consider management of service delivery resources. Critical to the
success of this process is the definition and maintenance of item
nomenclature for products based industries and skills taxonomies for
services based industries. Without common nomenclatures,
mismatches between suppliers and producers can occur. This process
begins with generating an unconstrained plan. Additional steps
include collaborating with suppliers or contractors, identifying critical
materials and supplier constraints, anticipating special events that
restrict supply flow, and generating a constrained plan. Demand may
be geographic, regional, and global, and the material plan must take
into account the most practical means to satisfy the demand using
identified resources

Copyright 2016 APQC 355 of 994


Definition
The “procure materials and services” process group addresses the
collaborative sourcing that takes place based upon the Production
Order (refreshed monthly, weekly and even daily) to supply the
factory lines as needed. It includes the business activities of
procurement planning, purchasing, and sourcing beginning with
developing sourcing strategies for materials and services, the
selection of suppliers to provide the materials and services, the
development and maintenance of the corresponding contracts, and
the ordering of materials and services. Finally, the performance of the
procurement function is assessed. Procurement includes both direct
and general items, for example, production parts and products;
maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) supplies; and services
(administrative and technical). Procurement may also include
subcontracted labor resources.

Copyright 2016 APQC 356 of 994


Definition
Developing sourcing strategies, also known as “supplier portfolio
strategies,” comprises multiple activities including clarifying
purchasing requirements, matching needs to supplier capabilities,
analyzing a company’s spend profile to identify high opportunity
categories, matching the most effective sourcing strategy by
category, seeking opportunities to improve efficiency and value, and
collaborating with suppliers to identify sourcing strategies. The
process may include the development of a timeline that incorporates
sourcing milestones for each category of sourced product or service.
Sourcing strategies are occasionally identified by category or supplier,
for example, reverse auction, request for information (RFI), request for
proposal (RFP), request for quote (RFQ), or consortium. For services
business that are human resource-centric, the sourcing strategy will
include sources of supply other than those that are procured. For
example, in-house, low-cost labor from other geographies, low-cost
labor from alternate employee categories (e.g., retirees that reenter
the company with a modified employment type), use of affiliates, or a
joint venture. All of these elements are used to create a procurement
strategy and plan that guides purchasing activities with a focus on
reducing total cost of supply and creating a balanced supplier
portfolio.

The process to select suppliers and develop/maintain contracts is


responsible for selecting suppliers (typically through a request for
information [RFI], request for proposal [RFP], or request for quote
[RFQ] process) to create business value, reduce cost, and ensure
quality. The process comprises multiple activities including identifying
categories of purchase, matching suppliers by category, certifying and
validating suppliers, and negotiating and managing contracts

Copyright 2016 APQC 357 of 994


Definition
“Order materials and services” is the process of planning, ordering,
and executing the physical delivery of materials and services from
suppliers to the points of need and use. This process comprises
multiple activities including processing/ reviewing requisitions,
approving requisitions, soliciting/tracking vendor quotes,
creating/distributing purchase orders, expediting orders to satisfy
special requests, and researching/resolving exceptions.

Appraising and developing suppliers is the process of developing and


managing programs and policies for interacting with suppliers and
measuring/improving their performance. This includes monitoring and
managing supplier information, preparing/analyzing spend and vendor
performance (including meeting quality standards) supporting
inventory and production processes, and the creation/implementation
of suppler training and certification programs

The process group “produce/manufacture/deliver product” comprises


three main high-level processes: scheduling production, producing the
product and delivering it to the appropriate site, and scheduling and
performing maintenance on the capital equipment used during
production. Manufacturing is the physical production of finished
goods.
This process includes two activities: generating a sitelevel plan and
generating an optional detailed schedule. The sitelevel plan should
include the rough forecast quantities of each product to be produced
by the site over a given time period (e.g., one month). The optional
detailed schedule comprises the exact quantities of each product to
be produced on a given day or week, as well as the machines the
products will be run on, setup times, etc.

Copyright 2016 APQC 358 of 994


Definition
Through the production process, it is most efficient to execute the
detailed schedule that was created during the “schedule production”
step. This process will vary depending on the product produced, level
of automation, labor force skill, and manufacturing strategy. Some
common manufacturing practices include quick changeover
techniques, focused factory production systems, employee
empowerment, ISO 9000, TPS/lean/pull, kaizen events, errorproofing,
JIT/continuous flow, 5S, standardized work, and cellular
manufacturing.

“Manage logistics and warehousing” is the process that plans,


implements, and controls the forward and reverse flow and storage of
goods, services, and related information between the point of origin
and the point of consumption in order to meet customers’
requirements. This includes defining a logistics strategy and
managing inbound transportation, warehousing, and outbound
transportation.

Defining logistics strategy refers to the process of translating


customer service requirements into capacity requirements and lead
time requirements; designing the logistics network required to meet
these requirements, including network components such as
warehouse and distribution center (DC) assets, transportation assets,
technology infrastructure, and inventory deployment; working with
procurement to identify, negotiate, and maintain outsourcing
agreements; defining delivery service policy elements such as lead
times, delivery performance levels, and shipping days; and defining
key performance measures such as logistics costs, inbound delivery
performance, space utilization, asset utilization, and outbound carrier
delivery performance. It also includes managing third-party resources
and global/international logistics strategies.

Copyright 2016 APQC 359 of 994


Definition
This is the process of planning, transporting, and tracking the delivery
of all incoming materials; monitoring inbound transportation carrier
performance; and managing the flow of returned materials.

Warehousing is the process of receiving, inspecting, and storing


incoming materials; picking, packing, and shipping product for
outbound delivery; and tracking inventory deployment. Warehousing
supports inbound and outbound transportation services. It may
include raw materials, finished goods, products for consumer
fulfillment, and/or vendor-managed inventory (VMI). It also includes
the evaluation and implementation of private, contract, and public
warehousing options.

“Operate outbound transportation” is the process of preparing the


goods for delivery from a warehouse to a receiving location. It
typically comprises activities like the notification of goods to be
supplied from a warehouse to a customer, carrier selection, loading,
advanced shipping notification, proof of delivery from the receiving
location and freight bill auditing. Many of these services are provided
by transportation management systems.

Process group 5.1 Develop customer care/customer service strategy


involves understanding and segmenting customers, creating policies
to govern customer service, and setting service targets and priorities.
Some of these determinations may be informed by segmentation and
relationship building that occurred within process category 3.0 Market
and Sell Products and Services. This strategy governs the way the
organization provides service to customers proactively or in response
to customer requests/issues.

Copyright 2016 APQC 360 of 994


Definition
The Define customer service policies and procedures process
encompasses all the steps required to develop a set of policies and
procedures for dealing with customer inquiries, requests, issues, and
outreach. These policies govern the actions of employees who provide
customer service, and the particulars depend on the kinds of
customer service offered by the organization and the importance of
customer service to the profitability of the business.

In the Establish service levels for customers process, the organization


determines the degree of service it will provide, sometimes differing
according to customer segment or type of issue. These targets may
be referenced on organizational or individual employee scorecards
and are typically communicated to employees during the onboarding
process. These levels may be linked to the policies constructed in
process 5.1.2 Define customer service policies and procedures.

This process group involves the development of plans and


management standards for the customer service work force and the
actual processing and management of customer service requests,
inquiries, and complaints. The way these processes are performed
depends heavily on the strategy, policies, and service levels
established in process group “develop customer care/customer
service strategy.”

Copyright 2016 APQC 361 of 994


Definition
The Plan and manage customer service work force process
concentrates on managing customer service personnel specifically,
over and above the activities that reside within process category 6.0
Develop and Manage Human Capital. Customer service employee
planning requires the organization to forecast the volume of contact
the customer service function is likely to receive within the quarter
(and/or other time periods as necessitated by the business). Based on
that forecast and knowledge of typical customer contact cycle times
and desired service levels, the organization can determine how many
employees are required and how they should be scheduled. The
scheduling of the work force is based on many factors, including
historical service trends and anticipated high-volume time periods.
During this process, the work force’s time and utilization is also
tracked to enable accurate forecasting in future years. In addition to
tracking utilization, the quality of customer interactions is also
monitored and measured in this process. The criteria for evaluating
customer interactions depends on the nature of the business and the
service levels established in process 5.1.3 Establish service levels for
customers.

The Manage customer service requests/inquiries process deals with


the actual receipt, routing, and response to customer
requests/inquiries. This process depends on the planning that
occurred in process group 5.1 and process 5.2.1. The customer service
representatives themselves accomplish these activities, and their
performance is measured in process group 5.3 Measure and evaluate
customer service operations.

Copyright 2016 APQC 362 of 994


Definition
The Manage customer complaints process deals with every aspect of
customer complaints, from initial receipt and routing to resolution and
response. This process depends on the planning that occurred in
process group 5.1 and process 5.2.1. Customer service
representatives themselves accomplish these activities, and their
performance is measured in process group 5.3 Measure and evaluate
customer service operations. Complaints are handled slightly
differently from requests and inquiries, and thus, an activity (5.2.3.3)
is present in process 5.2.3 that does not exist in process 5.2.2 Manage
customer service requests/inquiries. Activity 5.2.3.3 Resolve customer
complaints typically occurs internally, when organization convenes to
find an appropriate resolution to the complaint or when an employee
executes an action to satisfy the complaint (e.g., fixing a broken link
on a Web site or correcting a line item on a receipt or invoice). Once
the issue has been resolved or a plan for resolution has been
formulated, the organization can move forward to activity 5.2.3.4
Respond to customer complaints. During activity 5.2.3.4, customer
service may tell the customer that the issue has been resolved or may
discuss the potential solutions to identify next steps.

Analysis of log provides input for continuous service improvement and


customer profiling e.g. claims for lost baggage or refunds on cancelled
tickets

Definition
This process group encompasses the management of warranty claims.
It begins with the development and administration of warranty claim
transactions, progresses to the processing of the claim, adjustments,
approvals and other service events and ends with the management of
the warranty experience, which includes the management of parts
returns.

This category includes all of the processes that are included in


servicing products produced elsewhere in the supply chain. These
processes include confirming the specific service requirements,
identifying and scheduling resources to meet the service delivery
requirements, providing the specific service to the customer, and
ensuring that the quality standards are met and the quality of the
service is acceptable to the customer.

This process requires creating a resource plan/schedule and an order


fulfillment schedule. The resources could include any of the following:
personnel, raw materials, equipment, time frames, and finances.
Customer service needs might require product development, shipping
options, inventory management, order tracking, returns management,
etc.
This process involves organizing the daily product service order
fulfillment schedule, dispatching resources, managing the order
fulfillment request, and validating the order fulfillment block
completion. This process does not address planning and management
of ongoing service and service agreements; it only addresses the
specific onetime product fix or replacement activities.

To ensure the quality of service, a company can identify completed


product service orders and solicit customer feedback on delivery
expectations as a part of the improvement process.

Copyright 2016 APQC 364 of 994


Definition
Process group “measure and evaluate customer service operations”
focuses on measuring customers’ satisfaction with various aspects of
the service they receive. The factors that the organization combines
to rate customer satisfaction may be determined within process
“create enterprise measurement systems model” or in process
“establish service levels for customers.” What constitutes customer
satisfaction will vary from organization to organization, and the
methods used to collect customer feedback will also differ. Many
organizations ask their customers if they will continue to come to the
organization in the future; if they would recommend it to a friend; or if
they will rank how well the organization responds to requests, how
quickly the organization responds, or how well the organization seems
to understand customer needs.

Copyright 2016 APQC 365 of 994


Definition
In the Measure customer satisfaction with customer requests/inquiries
handling process, the organization gathers information from
customers about their experience dealing with customer service,
whether through an inquiry, a sales transaction, or other interaction
with customer service representatives. (Note that the measurement of
complaint handling occurs in process 5.3.2, and customer satisfaction
with the products and services themselves is measured in process
5.3.3.) This information may be collected in person, through surveys,
by interviewing customers, in online forms, by retrieving it from other
areas of the business, or through other methods. This process
includes both the solicitation and analysis of feedback along with
reporting any feedback and conclusions to management. Feedback
may be analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively, depending on the
nature of the customer responses and the needs of the organization.
Likewise, the reporting methods should match the standards of the
organization, whether through spreadsheets, meetings, or online
tools. The extent, duration, and frequency of the evaluation will also
depend on the organization and its business.

Definition
In the Measure customer satisfaction with customer complaint
handling and resolution process, the organization gathers information
from customers about how their complaints were handed by customer
service representatives. (Note that the measurement of noncompliant
inquiries occurs in process 5.3.1, and customer satisfaction with the
products and services themselves is measured in process 5.3.3.) This
information may be collected in person, through surveys, by
interviewing customers, in online forms, by retrieving it from other
areas of the business, during the complaint resolution process (5.2.3),
or through other methods. This process includes both the solicitation
and analysis of feedback along with the reporting of feedback and
conclusions to management. Activity 5.3.2.2 Analyze customer
complaint data and identify improvement opportunities includes the
analysis of the data and any work completed internally to make
improvements. The analysis of the complaint often results in actions
within other process categories—for example, improving the customer
experience with billing (category 8.0) or by altering the nature of the
products/services themselves (2.0 or 4.0). Feedback may be analyzed
quantitatively or qualitatively, depending on the nature of the
customer responses and the needs of the organization. The customer

Definition
In the Measure customer satisfaction with products and services
process, the organization gathers information from customers about
their experience with the products and services themselves. (Note
that the measurement of customer inquiry handling occurs in process
5.3.1, and the measurement of complaint handling occurs in process
5.3.2.) Organizations may chose to track these activities here (in
process 5.3.3) or through activities 4.4.4.3 Solicit customer feedback
on services delivered and 4.4.4.4 Process customer feedback on
services. This decision usually depends on the strategic use of an
organization’s customer service Wherever this information is tracked,
it may be collected in person, through surveys, by interviewing
customers, in online forms, by retrieving it from other areas of the
business, or through other methods. This process includes both the
solicitation and analysis of feedback along with the reporting of
feedback and conclusions to management and other areas of the
business as necessary. Feedback received here can inform activities
2.1.2.1 Identify potential improvements to existing products and
services, 2.1.2.2 Identify potential new products and services, and
3.1.1.1 Conduct customer and market research. Customer satisfaction
data may be analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively, depending on
the nature of the customer responses and the needs of the
organization. Likewise, the reporting methods should match the
standards of the organization, whether through spreadsheets,
meetings, or online tools. The extent, duration, and frequency of the
evaluation will also depend on the organization and its business. The
communication of this information throughout the business may be
essential to the growth of the business and its overall understanding
of customer needs.

behalf as well as capturing and reporting relevant tax data and
managing personal accounts. This process often dovetails with the
processing of accounts payable and includes the development and
use of policies and procedures.
The "manage treasury operations" process group includes the
management of treasury policies and procedures, cash, bank
accounts, debts, investments, and financial risks.

treasury operations; creating and publishing treasury policies;
developing, monitoring, auditing, and revising treasury procedures;
developing and confirming internal treasury controls; and defining
system security requirements.
This process includes managing and reconciling cash positions;
managing cash equivalents; processing and overseeing electronic
fund transfers; developing cash flow forecasts; managing cash flows;
producing cash management accounting transactions and reports;
managing and overseeing banking relationships; and analyzing,
negotiating, resolving, and confirming bank fees.
The activities used to manage in-house bank accounts include
managing in-house bank accounts for subsidiaries; managing and
facilitating intercompany borrowing transactions; managing
centralized outgoing payments on behalf of subsidiaries; managing
central incoming payments on behalf of subsidiaries; managing
internal payments and netting transactions; calculating interest and
fees for in-house bank accounts; and providing account statements for
in-house bank accounts.

This process involves managing financial intermediary relationships;


managing liquidity and issuer exposure; processing and overseeing
debts and investments; making foreign currency transactions; and
producing debt and investment accounting transaction reports.

This process includes managing interest rate, foreign exchange, and


exposure risks; developing and executing hedging transactions;
evaluating and refining hedging positions; producing hedge
accounting transactions and reports; and monitoring credit.

Copyright 2016 APQC 392 of 994


Definition
The "manage internal controls" process group consists of operating
controls, monitoring compliance with internal controls policies and
procedures, and reporting on internal controls compliance. Internal
controls do NOT include external audit activities.

This process covers the establishment of boards of directors and audit


committees; the development and communication of a code of ethics;
the assignment of roles and responsibilities for internal controls; the
definition of business process objectives; the identification of risks;
and the evaluation of defining entity/unit risk tolerance

This process incorporates the planning, management, operation, and


monitoring of internal control mechanisms, policies, and procedures. It
includes designing and implementing control activities; monitoring
control effectiveness; remediating control deficiencies; creating
compliance functions; operating compliance functions; and
implementing and maintaining technologies and tools to enable the
controls-related activities.

This process includes reporting to external auditors, regulators,


shareholders, debt holders, securities exchanges, business partners,
internal management, and any other bona fide third parties.

The "manage taxes" process group includes the processes associated


with estimating an organization’s periodic tax liabilities and ensuring
that appropriate taxing authorities receive tax return filings and
payments when due.
This process includes setting targets for periodic tax liabilities and
assessing the tax impact of various activities, such as the acquisition
or disposal of fixed assets or a deliberate change in employee
population.
This is the process of accounting for taxes collected or paid.

Copyright 2016 APQC 393 of 994


Definition
The "manage international funds/consolidation" process is the process
of managing cash collections and disbursements made by operating
units across the enterprise and, when appropriate, transferring cash
from those units to parent level bank accounts managed by the
organization’s treasury team.
This is the process of forecasting and monitoring changes in foreign
currency value or interest rates around the world.
This is the process of converting cash from one currency to another in
the course of conducting cross-border trade or investment.

This process involves assessing an organization’s exposures to


potential financial losses that could occur as a result of changes in the
relative value of currencies globally. Hedging currency exposures
refers to the process of forecasting the impacts of movements in
foreign currency values and entering into financial transactions
designed to offset or limit an organization’s potential exposure to loss.

This process involves making accounting entries to formally report


financial gains or losses experienced as a result of foreign exchange
activity.
Global trade services represents the collection of processes related to
cross-border collaboration and compliance with international
regulations including import/export controls, product classification,
duty calculation, relationships with customs, trade communications
and documentation, restitution, and international letters of credit.

This category has been expanded in the E&U model to include both
the original non-productive assets (such as property, buildings and
facilities) plus utility networks and major plant assets.

Copyright 2016 APQC 394 of 994


Definition
Previously these processes might have been covered under 9.1. But
9.1 was a poor representation of utility plant and network design and
construction processes. The new 9.2 process group for E&U provides a
more comprehensive and accurate description of this core utility
function, leaving 9.1 to describe processes applicable to property and
buildings (as was its original intent).
The process "dispose of productive and nonproductive assets"
involves planning how to discontinue the use of an asset at the end of
its life cycle. This process group includes developing an exit strategy,
performing a sale or trade of assets, and performing asset
abandonment.
The process group "manage enterprise risk, compliance, remediation,
and resiliency" is responsible for ensuring that an organization
effectively manages its risk. Process groups are aligned with
traditional risk management activities.
The "manage enterprise risk" process group addresses enterprise risk
management. Risk is the probability or threat of a negative
occurrence caused by potential events. Strategic, operational,
financial, and hazard risks categories are included in this group.
Manage enterprise risk includes establishing an enterprise risk
management framework and policies, overseeing enterprise risk
management activities across the organization, and coordinating
business unit/functional risk management processes. Based on the
enterprise-level risk management frameworks and policies, business
unit/functional risk management activities are executed and
managed. This process group also covers the management of
regulatory compliance to ensure the organization has the required
procedures in place and follows regulatory requirements.

The "manage compliance" process group is responsible for the


development of internal and external compliance activities.

Copyright 2016 APQC 395 of 994


Definition
Remediation efforts are those processes necessary to repair damage
to assets created by the occurrence of a risk, be it a new risk or a risk
under existing management.
Managing business resiliency and risk includes the processes required
to enable firms to rapidly adapt and respond to any internal or
external opportunity, demand, disruption, or threat; continue
operations without significant impact to the business; and develop a
more dynamic, strategic, and integrated approach to managing
compliance obligations.
External relationships are those relationships with stakeholders of the
entity, including investors, government and industry, the board of
directors, and the general public. This is not related to customer
management.
Strong government and industry relationships are essential to the
longevity of any company. This process group is responsible for
managing government relations, trade and industry group
relationships, and lobbying activities.
The "manage relations with board of directors" process group
encompasses the processes required to select, appoint, govern, and
communicate with the organization’s board of directors while
complying with the organization’s bylaws. These processes include
"report results" and "report audit findings."
"Manage legal and ethical issues" includes a variety of processes that
address the legal and moral framework of the organization and policy
development and enforcement.

Copyright 2016 APQC 396 of 994


Definition
"Manage public relations" includes processes related to the flow of
information from an organization to the public. It includes the
processes "manage community relations, "manage media relations,"
"promote political stability," "create press releases," and "issue press
releases." Public relations processes influence the public view of an
organization and its products or services. These programs may include
but are not limited to: corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs,
corporate giving, volunteerism, and community partnerships. These
programs may use a variety of avenues including media outlets,
personalities, social resources, networks, or lobbying.

Business capabilities are those activities performed by an organization


that are fundamental to the successful operation of the organization,
even across functions in a business. Capabilities defined in the PCF
include business process management; portfolio, program, and project
management; quality management; change management;
benchmarking; environmental health and safety management; and
knowledge management.

The "manage portfolio, program, and project" process group focuses


on identifying projects and initiatives; initiating, executing, and
closing projects; monitoring the overall project performance and
status; and making projects visible to organizational decision-makers.

The "manage quality" process group creates a quality strategy, plans


and supports the staff that oversee quality work force, and conducts
quality assessments.

Copyright 2016 APQC 397 of 994


Definition
The purpose of the Establish Quality Requirements is to define a
specific plan for quality within the execution of work. This requires a
complete understanding (e.g., an inventory) of all stakeholder
requirements (e.g., product, service, or process) and an associated set
of critical-to-quality characteristics (CtQCs) that can be measured for
each of these requirement—to prove the requirements are met. These
CtQCs are used to evaluate the current capabilities of the organization
to meet the requirements and identify any potential gaps that may
lead to a nonconformance prior to the execution of work. A
determination is made to mitigate the gap with preventive activities
or deemed an acceptable risk. As an output, the plan for quality
provides documentation about how Quality will be ensured (e.g.,
preventive, control, assurance) and all actions that will be taken if a
nonconformance occurs.

All stakeholder requirements that describe the characteristics of a


product, service, or process must be documented and gathered, in an
accessible format, in preparation for establishing quality
requirements. The actual establishment of these requirements is not
within the scope of the EQ Framework, but is a critical input used
throughout planning for Quality. Stakeholders, in this instance, include
any internal or external party (e.g., customers, government agencies,
industry standards, enterprise policies, business or functional
performance targets) that have expressed a requirement (often
described as critical-to-customer (CtC) characteristics). CtQCs are
measurable elements of the process, product, or service whose
performance standards or specifications must be met to satisfy the
established requirement. Each stakeholder requirement must have an
associated CtQCs, unless the requirement itself fully defines all
elements that must exist. The CtQCs must be documented and
aligned to the specific requirement being fulfilled.

Copyright 2016 APQC 398 of 994


Definition
Analysis is conducted to assess the current state of the processes to
achieve the CtQCs. This analysis must include, but is not limited to, all
required activities established in the organization's Risk Management
standards. All identified gaps are documented and a determination is
made as to whether the gap will be mitigated through preventive
Quality activities or deemed as acceptable risk. The goal of any
preventive quality activities is to create provisions to prevent, control,
or reduce the risk of not meeting the CtQCs. In addition, any standard
methodology that will be used to design or conduct preventive Quality
activities are defined and documented.

The purpose of quality assurance and control design is to ensure all


processes can create products or services that meet the CtQCs, by
minimizing defects from occurring (or meeting the specified
tolerances for performance). For example, the implementation,
alignment, and adherence of work activities to the EQ Framework is
considered a quality assurance activity. In planning Quality assurance
and activities, the concepts of ‘fit for purpose’ (does the product or
service meet the intended purpose) and ‘right the first time’
(elimination of mistakes, errors, or defects) must be considered.

A plan for quality defines how the CTQ characteristics will be


achieved, controlled, assured and managed throughout the entire
lifecycle of a product or service. The definition of this may be a
separate quality plan or can be the inclusion/alignment of the EQ
Framework in existing plans. At a minimum, all plans for quality must
include the following: requirements, CtQCs, a preventive quality
assessment, description of how the product or service is going to be
verified, criteria against which the verification is to be assessed, how
any nonconformance to those requirements will be managed, and the
records that will be kept to demonstrate conformity.

Copyright 2016 APQC 399 of 994


Definition
Evaluation compares the work outcomes with respect to quality
characteristics against the intended results as designed. It serves as a
check for: • Initiating non-conformance management • Identifying
long-term root cause analyses • Providing test and compliance data
for future analyses Requirements may include both in-process or
output standards in addition to customer outcome standards. In
particular, key process indicators (KPI’s) and critical to quality (CTQ)
characteristics must be used as the basis for any evaluation and test
methodology.

The evaluation of performance is done through periodic or episodic


testing against the established standards for quality characteristics.
For periodic tests/audits, a schedule is created which is designed to
provide sufficient time to make any required adjustments to the
process or system to maintain the desired level of quality. Episodic
testing is conducted whenever a known non-conformance or fault
occurs which results in outputs or outcomes known to be
unsatisfactory to performance requirements

The purpose of recording results is to provide documented evidence


for (minimally): • Audit requirements by external parties • Non-
conformance management • Management reporting requirements
• Trend analysis and quality improvement Results should be
maintained electronically, in corporate standard format(s), and owned
by a designated function or role. Access to results should be provided
on an as needed basis to appropriate stakeholders with appropriate
levels of editing rights.

Dispositioning of results is the action of deciding whether to take


additional action based upon the results of the test(s)/audit(s). For
conforming outputs and outcomes, the only additional actions may be
to record the results of the decision. For non-conforming output or
outcomes, the decisions will be determined by the non-conformance
management process.

Copyright 2016 APQC 400 of 994


Definition
The purpose of determining sample significance includes: •
Determining whether or not the sample is representative of the larger
output or outcome • Determining if the sample meets or does not
meet the requirements • Identifying the conditions for acceptance,
rejection, remediation, and prevention For each key process indicator
(KPI), CtQCs, or other dimension assessed, significance is assigned
individually.

Summarizing results of the test(s)/audit(s) provides insights and


indicators derived from the raw data. It serves as a basis for informing
post-assessment actions by providing information separating
significant from insignificant results. Summaries may be shown in
various forms, including charts, tables, statistical test results, or
written findings and conclusions.
(input into non-conformance or drive improvement)

This process includes the effort to analyze nonconformance events


and determine the need for corrective and/or preventative action(s).
The level of analysis may include root cause, risk exposure and other
evaluations that will be necessary to properly review and
approve/reject subsequent actions. Recommended actions may
include corrective, preventative or no action based upon the impact
and likelihood of reoccurrence. Approval will be based upon
cost/benefit, risk exposure and other pertinent factors. Determination
of not only what action(s) but also timing and assignment of
responsibility will occur. If correct/preventive actions are needed, this
will trigger the Preventive Action process.

Definition
The "manage change" process group includes all processes involved
in implementing and facilitating major changes throughout an
organization or in a selected unit, department, division, etc. The
needed changes are typically identified in process groups "create and
manage organizational performance strategy," "benchmark
performance," or "manage strategic initiatives." "Manage change"
deals with the activities necessary to plan, develop, implement, and
monitor those changes. These are often project related processes for
activities that may have a set start and end date. However, activities
in the process "sustain improvement" may continue periodically well
into the future. In some organizations, monitoring and sustaining
improvement takes place within the other process categories specific
to the area of the business where the change occurred, and those
organizations track change-related processes in those appropriate
categories.

The Plan for change process involves all processes, from selecting the
methodology for implementation to identifying stakeholders,
resources, and preliminary measures. It also includes the identification
of any barriers to the change and the formation of the team who will
implement the change. Although the change methodology is selected
in this process, the change itself is not extensively designed until
process 12.4.2 Design the change. 12.4.1 is a planning and foundation
laying process.

During the Design the change process, the change team aligns the
change with other activities already in place or planned for the
organization. It develops specific training and implementation plans,
including communication schedules, new role assignments, and
budgets.

Copyright 2016 APQC 402 of 994


Definition
In the Implement change process, organizations embed the new
processes, systems, or other changes into the business. During this
process, training is administered; stakeholders are consulted; and new
documents, policies, processes, and technologies go into effect.
Processes to continuously measure the change also begin, but
measurement activities are typically tracked within the processes
under process group 12.1 Create and manage organizational
performance strategy.

The Sustain improvement process encompasses the tracking of


changes made to the business and the general monitoring and
maintenance of performance related to the change. This process
includes post improvement project activities, like debriefings where
lessons learned during the change are shared and recorded. These
processes may be revisited regularly to monitor performance, but
these regular processes may eventually be tracked as part of
continuous organizational processes under process group 12.1 Create
and manage organizational performance strategy.

Copyright 2016 APQC 403 of 994


Definition
The "develop and manage enterprise-wide knowledge management
(KM) capability" process group comprises processes associated with
knowledge flow within an organization (e.g., create, identify, collect,
review, share, access, and use knowledge). At its heart, knowledge is
information in action. Knowledge management (KM) is a systematic
process that enables information and knowledge to grow, flow, and
create value. The KM discipline is about connecting people to the
information and expertise they need to achieve business results.
Various approaches can be used to support this goal, including
content management, communities of practice, transfer of best
practices, lessons learned, expertise location, virtual collaboration,
and social computing. The specific KM approaches that an
organization pursues are determined by the business problems it
wants to address. For example, if an organization is seeing similar
mistakes repeated across business units, it may implement a lessons
learned process so that employees can learn what has and hasn’t
worked in other parts of the business. Similarly, an organization that is
concerned about knowledge loss due to retirement may consider
interviewing senior level employees who are nearing retirement and
making their expertise accessible through documents or videos.
Although technology plays a role in KM, it is critical to implement
technology as part of a larger, systematic change initiative. The
introduction of new tools will not change behavior unless people
understand when, how, and why to share knowledge and are
incentivized to do so.

Copyright 2016 APQC 404 of 994


Definition
The Develop KM strategy process includes activities related to
establishing an enterprise KM program. A KM program is an
organization wide effort to standardize and excel in KM. The first set of
activities relates to logistics such as governance, roles, and funding.
An organization with a clear business case for KM is in a better
position to select an appropriate governance model. For example, a
program focused on expertise location might need ties to the HR
function, whereas a program focused on content management might
be better housed in the IT function. Funding is also impacted by the
business case, but most organizations use a combination of corporate
and business unit funding for KM. The second set of activities relates
to linking KM to business objectives and managing KM related change.
Again, the specific tactics involved will depend on the business
problems that KM is intended to solve, as well as the current culture
and its receptiveness to KM. Note that processes 12.3.1 and 12.3.4
both contain activities related to technology needs, training,
communication, and change management. The difference is that the
activities in the Develop KM strategy process relate to the KM program
as a whole, as opposed to specific KM approaches.

Before improving how it manages knowledge, an organization must


evaluate its current KM processes and practices. The Assess
knowledge management capabilities process includes activities for
determining exactly where an organization stands on the KM learning
curve, pinpointing gaps, and identifying KM approaches and tactics
that will have meaningful impact on strategic objectives. For
organizations that struggle with this process, frameworks like APQC’s
KM Capability Assessment Tool provide standard structures for
measuring KM maturity and identifying performance gaps.

The process "measure and benchmark" encompasses the processes
required to develop a strategy for monitoring and improving the
performance of an organization including creating and managing
organizational performance strategy and benchmarking performance.

Copyright 2016 APQC 406 of 994


Definition
This process group encompasses those processes required to develop
a strategy for monitoring and improving the performance of an
organization. Although this process group is related to process group
1.2 Develop business strategy, 12.1 Create and manage
organizational performance strategy focuses more on internal
performance rather than external or competitive positions in the
marketplace. Process group 12.1 centers around measurement,
including the creation of measures and the act of measuring itself.
This is the measurement of internal performance within a strategy for
tracking, streamlining, and improving it. Activity 1.2.2.6 Develop
lean/continuous improvement strategy also relates to these activities
but is more typically used when executives are developing a business
strategy to enhance external market position. 1.2.2.6 focuses on high-
level strategy development, whereas 12.1 encompasses the tactical
measurement of internal processes and work force improvement. The
measurement processes in process group 12.1 should align with
human capital management processes such as 6.6.5 Develop and
Manage Employee Metrics. Process 6.6.5 and other human capital
management processes refer to the overall management of employee
information and the use of metrics to guide employee development
and rewards. Process group 12.1 refers to the collection of the data
and the strategies employed to gather it. It does not refer to the day-
to-day activities of human capital managers, but instead to the
development of strategies and systems that allow human resources to
more effectively manage personnel. Process group 12.1 also includes
the measurement of machines, entire processes, facility and
environmental efficiency, overall cost effectiveness, and other
activities not directly related to human performance.

Copyright 2016 APQC 407 of 994


Definition
The Create enterprise measurement systems model process refers to
the development of a high-level measurement system to track
performance across the enterprise or in specific functions or business
units. In this process, organizations determine which processes to
measure, which measures to use, how often to measure, and what the
target measurement results should be. Decision makers usually also
define which actions will be taken given certain measurement results.
This process does not refer to actual measurement activities or
consequential actions; it focuses on strategic decisions about how to
best measure an organization. Because measures should be revisited
and realigned with organizational goals as time passes, this process
should repeat on a regular basis as a review.

The Measure process productivity process includes all activities


associated with measuring how productive processes are. This process
will vary depending on which activities and business components are
being measured. Unlike process 12.1.4 Measure staff efficiency,
process 12.1.2 measures outcomes (e.g., how much of X is produced
within X time period). A manufacturing process may be measured
according to number of units produced per FTE or number of “high-
quality” units produced. A marketing department might be measured
on the completion of a target number of campaigns per marketing
FTE. Some organizations choose to include measurement analysis in
this process. Actions taken based on the measurement typically exist
as activities within process group 12.4 Manage change or within the
other function-specific categories. (For example, if measures indicate
that inventory levels need to be better optimized, the resulting
actions would take place under the process 4.5.3 Operate
warehousing.)

Copyright 2016 APQC 408 of 994


Definition
The Measure cost effectiveness process covers all activities associated
with measuring the cost effectiveness of a process. This process will
vary depending on which activities and business components are
being measured. An organization may want to track its return on
investing in activities like marketing campaigns, new equipment, and
process redefinition. It may also measure cost per employee or cost
per cycle for a given process, function, or business unit. Some
organizations choose to include measurement analysis in this process.
Actions taken based on the measurement typically exist as activities
within process group 12.4 Manage change or within the other
function-specific categories. (For example, if measures indicate that
inventory levels need to be better optimized to reduce costs, the
resulting actions would take place under the process 4.5.3 Operate
warehousing.)

Copyright 2016 APQC 409 of 994


Definition
The Measure staff efficiency process covers all activities associated
with measuring how efficiently employees perform. This process will
vary depending on which activities and business components are
being measured. This process often focuses on measuring activities
performed manually or compares manual completion with completion
aided by automation. These measures can help determine where
automation could increase efficiency or identify differences between
the efficiency of one employee or group and another. This process
could also include an evaluation of the quality of work, which could
potentially reduce or increase the amount of automation or review
included in the process. This process, unlike process 12.1.2 Measure
process productivity, does not measure outputs of a process. Instead,
it measures the agility and speed of the activities that lead to a final
product. Some organizations choose to include measurement analysis
in this process. Actions taken based on the measurement typically
exist as activities within process group 12.4 Manage change or within
the other function-specific categories. (For example, if measures
indicate that the invoicing cycle is too long or has redundant steps,
the resulting actions would take place within process 8.2.2 Invoice
customer.)

Copyright 2016 APQC 410 of 994


Definition
The Measure cycle time process includes all activities associated with
measuring how long it takes to perform certain processes or cycles of
action. This process will vary depending on which activities and
business components are being measured. Organizations typically
include the measurement of cycles like customer response time,
invoicing, or order to cash under this process. Some organizations
choose to include measurement analysis in this process. Actions taken
based on the measurement typically exist as activities within process
group 12.4 Manage change or within the other function specific
categories. (For example, if measures indicate that the invoicing cycle
is taking too long or is inconsistent, the resulting actions would take
place within process 8.2.2 Invoice customer.)

Process group 12.2 Benchmark performance encompasses all the


processes required to compare organizational performance internally
or externally with other organizations. Some organizations run
benchmarking through a central group or department. In other cases,
benchmarking takes place as part of a specific project or within a
particular department that sees the need to compare its performance
with other departments or organizations

In order to benchmark, an organization must first examine its own


performance. The Conduct performance assessments process includes
activities related to measuring, researching, and recording the
performance of people, processes, mechanisms, or other areas of the
business that the organization wants to benchmark or track. Usually,
these assessments are performed on a regular cycle to monitor long-
term performance. But this can also refer to an in-depth pre
benchmarking exercise to look at specific process that might not be
regularly assessed.

Copyright 2016 APQC 411 of 994


Definition
The Develop benchmarking capabilities process refers to tasks
associated with increasing an organization’s ability to compare its
performance internally or externally or maintain benchmarking
relationships with other organizations. This can include training staff
in benchmarking, developing technological solutions or other
materials to aid benchmarking efforts, or consulting with external
entities to gain knowledge or tools to help benchmark.

In the Conduct gap analysis to understand need for change and


degree needed process, the organization examines its performance
against that of the benchmarked organizations or entities. It notes the
differences between organizational performance and that of the
benchmarked standard and studies those differences to identify what
specific changes need to be made. The organization determines how
much its performance needs to change to meet expectations and help
the organization reach its strategic goals.

The process group "manage environmental health and safety"


concerns the management of environmental, health, and safety risks,
including: environment, occupational health and safety, community
health and safety, and construction/decommissioning. This process
group includes determining the environmental, health, and safety
impacts of an organization’s products, services, and operations;
developing and executing business unit/functional EHS programs; and
training and educating employees. It also covers monitoring and
managing business unit/functional EHS management programs,
ensuring compliance with regulations, and managing remediation
efforts.
