Analyzing a digital process involves breaking down the process into its individual components and examining each one to identify areas for improvement. We summarize ten steps to help you analyze a digital process and understand how to make automation work for your team:

1. Define the process: Start by defining the process you want to analyze. This will help you understand the scope of the process and identify the key components.

2. Identify the inputs and outputs: Identify the inputs and outputs of the process. This will help you understand what goes into the process and what comes out of it.

3. Map the process: Create a process map to visualize the steps involved in the process. This will help you identify any bottlenecks or inefficiencies.

4. Collect data: Collect data on the process to help you understand how it is currently performing. This can include metrics such as cycle time, throughput, and defect rates.

5. Analyze the data: Analyze the data you have collected to identify patterns and trends. This will help you understand where the process is performing well and where it needs improvement.

6. Identify areas for improvement: Use the data analysis to identify areas for improvement in the process. This can include reducing cycle time, improving quality, or increasing throughput.

7. Develop solutions: Develop solutions to address the areas for improvement you have identified. This can include process changes, technology upgrades, or training programs.

8. Implement solutions: Implement the solutions you have developed and monitor their effectiveness. This will help you understand whether the changes you have made are having the desired impact.

9. Continuously improve: Continuously monitor and improve the process to ensure it is performing at its best. This can involve regular data collection and analysis, as well as ongoing process improvement initiatives.

10. Document the process: Document the process and any changes you have made to it. This will help you maintain a record of the process and ensure that everyone involved understands how it works.

The above list outlines how to automate a manual process into a digital process.  We have customers who have gone from manual to digital directly using a tool like FlowWright to do that very easily.
