What is Business Process Standardization?
Business process standardization is when procedures or processes are unified to create a set standard or best practice that the whole organization follows.
Business process standardization is needed in the absence of a consistent process or if different teams are doing the same work, yet using different processes to reach their end goal.
What are the benefits of business process standardization
- Improves clarity – a standard process will eliminate the need for guesswork or extra searching, meaning that everyone is on the same page.
- Guarantees quality – tasks will be completed in a pre-determined way that has been proven to work best.
- Promotes productivity – employees won’t need to ask colleagues questions or endlessly search through documentation to find out how to do complete a task.
- Saves time – a set process creates a standard flow that will save employees time by eliminating assumptions and redundancies.
- Enhances transparency – different teams or individuals completing the same task will have identical directions on how to carry out the task.
