Visualize the process flow See what happens, what sequence, which way
View process metrics See information about how many, how long, how often
Analyze inefficient process routes
Look for delays, loopbacks, and repeated steps
Compare with business requirements Look for waste, cost of routes, opportunities to streamline, go lean

APD is unlike existing approaches:
It visualizes processes that have taken place, not theoretical workflows It works from a simple data extract and does not need permanent links to your IT
APD: Flexible, Non-Invasive Approach
An Innovative Technology Providing Evidence-Based Process Maps and Performance Metrics
Main process Infrequent Routes
Process Repetition Bottlenecks
Value vs Failure
Process Performance and Analysis
Process VisualizationApplication data extract (csv file)

Repeats and Loopbacks
Analysis of a case- Who?- What?- When? Straight through Order to Shipment: 0.5%
Copyright 2009 Fujitsu America, Inc.
APD Findings The highest concentration of activities were
repeats and not the next logical step in the process 80% of the time we repeat steps 72% of time orders change 43% of time quotes change <1% of the time orders go to shipment 74% of the time orders do not ship
To get from an “opportunity” to “opportunity change” it takes 58 days – why does it take that long?
Averaging 22 touch points/ per opportunity
Copyright 2009 Fujitsu America, Inc.13
“I would have bet we went from order to shipment at least 10% of the time. It was unbelievable! After
significant scrutiny of the Fujitsu numbers, we
agreed that it was what it was”
- Greg Mueller, Manufacturing Systems Analyst
Next Steps & Feedback
Identified 22 process improvement projects – 80% were directly because of APD. Examples include: Creating a simplified opportunity
entry view in SAP Adding timers/ ticklers to review
opportunities every week and decide whether to proceed to quote or drop an opportunity (currently reviews are done every 30 days by which time it is too late to undo build instructions)
Redoing the approval process within SAP
“We were very impressed by how much insight into our
critical opportunity-to-order process the Fujitsu Automated
Process Discovery and Visualization service provided in so little time, at such low cost, and with so little disruption to our business. APD produced
easy-to-understand visualizations based on what is actually happening within our organization, allowing us to
make solid process-improvement decisions”

Multinational Helpdesk Findings
German or French agents don’t provide Resolution notification
GermanyURR=6.0 ACT=0.2hs
NetherlandsURR=5.7 ACT=0.3hs
ItalyURR=5.7 ACT=0.1hs
FranceURR=7.1 ACT=0.0hs
SpainURR=6.2 ACT=0.2hs
Italian team not resolving incidents as per agreed process - resolution classification not captured
Turkish team has the highest URR (Unique Route Ratio) They follow the process most consistently
France has a 0hrs process time which could mean incidents are logged after the call
TurkeyURR=10.3 ACT=0.1hs
Variation in the way Agents & Teams follow the Incident Process
Implications
Customer service &
satisfaction in jeopardy
Inaccurate SLA reporting
Recommendation
Update, document and
maintain the processes
Train across teams rather
than within teams
Benefits
Improved consistency of
customer experience
Avoidance of Service Credits due to missed SLAs
Fujitsu America, Inc. - CONFIDENTIAL
Key Findings - Process Inefficiencies
Reassignments and Handoffs Excessive repeat handoffs between the Helpdesk and SYS ADMIN teams (from 3 to 5 handoffs) Some new agents in the off-shored team might need further training lack of clarity on which documents (often screenshots) are required – too much time spent in the attach document activity
System workflow can be manipulated by usersImplications Calls end up in unattended queues Essential fix information not capturedRecommendation Monitoring in the short term and plan fix for next system upgradeBenefits Prevention of a number of costly problems

Data Transformation and Correlation
Data Transformation Steps
Profiling is done to identify correlation candidates
Time Stamp and event indicators are selected
Additional analysis variables are selected (Performer, Vendor, Product, etc.)
Flow data is generated
Analysis with the Flow Viewer can begin
It Starts with Data Extraction and Transformation

Summary: Benefits From APD
Quick Discovery and Visualization of processes Insights for automation and process improvement initiatives Helps you ask the right questions – focus on “why” are things happening vs.
“what” is happening Non-invasive approach: Minimal disruption to customer’s business Fraction of the time compared to “interview” method for discovery Comparison of ‘As-Is’ and ‘Really-Is’ processes Diagnosis based on metrics
Responding and improving processes Improve and optimize high-visibility/high-impact processes Converge business processes to best-of-breed processes
Ensuring compliance Determine unauthorized actions/fraud – reduce risk from non-compliance
Jump-starts process improvement projects Process mapping in standards-based modeling environment Full BPM suite to instantiate “To Be” processes
