Some definitions of “Workflow”

The point of view depends upon your perspective.

Sample “Google” based search for Workflow definition The sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. (Google top level) Workflow is the series of activities that is necessary to complete a task. (Searchcio.com) The flow or amount of work to and from an office, department, or employee. (Dictionary.com) Progression of steps (tasks, events, interactions) that comprise a work process, involve two or more persons, and create or add value to the organization's activities. (Businessdictionary.com) A bull---t management word for a process which they don’t understand. (urbandictionary.com)
Some definitions of “Automated”

Sample “Google” based search for “Automated” definition Convert (a process or facility) to a largely automatic operation. (Google top level) IT automation is the linking of disparate systems and software in such a way that they become self-acting or self-regulating. (searchcio.com) To install automatic procedures, as for manufacturing or servicing; follow or utilize the principles of automation. (dictionary.com) Use of email-based software technology to increase the efficiency of a workflow by improving the coordination of the activities of the people involved. (Business dictionary.com) Disembodied voice that answers consumer service questions providing no answers and plenty of frustration. (urbandictionary.com)

Business Architecture: Aligning Organization, Business Processes and IT to support business strategy
Sub tasks can be grouped into three functions: Specify, Plan and Execute.

Specify: i.e. What needs to be accomplished, what is a
successful outcome, what is the budget?
► What are the key parameters and metrics?
► What are the product and process specifications?
► What level of risk is acceptable?
- Does everyone have access to, and understand, the specs?
Execute: i.e. How are the processes monitored?
► Can I reliably estimate my completion?
► Can I detect and correct/approve product/process non-conformance?
► Did I meet the operational budget?
- Do I reliably meet the specifications?
Plan: i.e. What has to be done, by when?
► What is my demand/forecast?
► What is the capacity and constraints?
► What level of volatility is manageable?
- Are all business processes/stakeholders aligned?

“Aspirational State” and How to Get There

Start with a clearly articulated, well documented Charter and “future state” vision.

1. Quality Culture
1. Quality Culture: Management Considerations
Building a Quality Culture is a methodical and stepwise process that takes a substantial level of effort and commitment.
Colleagues see quality as a source of pride and job satisfaction.
Quality is embedded into every employee’s mindset and actions.
Everyone is speaking the same language of quality.
Campaigns drive quality initiative into the day-to-day conversation.
Quality organization is designed, staffed and in place.
The launch of a sustainable, effective Quality Culture is a journey that begins with the launch of the organization …
… a journey that ends with the strategic pillar embedded within the mindset and
behaviors of every employee. Launch

Alignment on Quality Practices

2. Standard Model Structure
Maetrics endorses adoption of a “Standard model” organization, process and technology aligned with business strategy.
Business operating model alignment: Standard Model components support closer alignment across the organization from product development to customer service.
Business process consistency: Common process (e.g. specification management) will support greater collaboration, a common vocabulary and staff flexibility (e.g. establishment of “Process Champions”).
Information technology: The current and future investment in IT will equally, and proportionately, support Quality and Compliance functions.

5. ROI: Increased Sales

A company going from average to good quality/compliance performance sees 3-4% of increased revenue.
Day-to-day costs
Costs due to non-routine quality events
Revenue loss due to non-routine quality events
Total Quality Costs for Industry
10-14% of revenue ($14-21B)
1-2% of revenues ($1.5-3B)
0.7-1.4% of revenues ($1-2B)
Current Industry Cost
Capturable For Industry

A study by UCLA showed that companies traded on the NYSE that obtained ISO certification showed better financial performance than companies that did not.
(Reference: Corbett et al. The Financial Impact of ISO 9000 Certification in the United States. Management Science. Vol. 51, No. 7, July 2005, pp. 1046-1059.)
Improved sales represent a $4.75 to $6 billion opportunity for the industry.
Investment in quality and compliance = improved financial performance.
5. ROI: Reduced Working Capital
Quality is considered “non value added” in LEAN and Value Stream mapping, e.g.:
Elapsed time to resolve non-conformance reports and implement the CAPA
Elapsed time to review and approve manufacturing record to release product
A case study (Pharmaceutical)
Client had a high-volume product, with a median manufacturing lead time of 63 days for bulk tablet product:
Conducted extensive process modelling, material flow and bottleneck analysis
Theoretical minimum lead time (no “proceed at risk”) was 11 days plus final QA release
Project goal was to manufacture 10 batches with a median lead time of 30 days
©2015 Maetrics. All Rights Reserved. 14
What is the ROI on quality?
Result First phase of project achieved 45-day median time – identified equipment availability and
QC/QA constraints Finding: Delays in resolving NCR plus batch record review caused 15 days delay
Project was converted to a “right first time” initiative Conclusion – Performance improvement must include quality
The project released $24 million in working capital FOR ONE PRODUCT.
One Company’s Journey

One Company’s Journey to Automated Quality Workflow
Three key guiding principles:
1. Single source of truth: Are objects, transactions and status consistently represented across the enterprise? Created once and used many times by many systems/processes?
2. Point of use/continuous verification: Before, during and after a transaction, do I know/confirm the compliance status of the materials, method, machine and “man”power that I am using? Can I avoid exceptions – or, at least, quickly identify and resolve non exceptions?
3. Paperless operations and Release by no exception: How much data is captured electronically vs. on paper?

Am I ready for the increasing regulatory expectations for non-conformance, CAPA, APR and Complaints?

Batch Record Restructuring:
Define unit operations
How many ways can you “mix” (combine, stir, blend, agitate, etc.)?
Parse verbiage between Policies, Directives, SOPs and Work Instructions
How to set up a mixer is in an SOP.
“Mix at 200 RPM for 20 minutes” is in a work instruction or recipe.
Structure documentation to be pre-digested for conversion into target MES
Use parameter substitution
(For product A) mix at $speed1 rpm for $time minutes
