Stronger into the future with transparent process management
Modern BPM in BIC Platform is one of the key levers LEONI is using to completely re-engineer its company-wide process structure and organizational setup. The newly built, living process map will for the most part contain standardized processes for the more than 100 sites around the globe. However, local process variants, for example in the case of different legal requirements at individual sites, are possible. The language is also standardized: The global rollout of the processes will take place in the corporate language of English, with additional work instructions in the respective national language only being provided if necessary. In particular, the increased transparency of the process landscape, the document link for transactions and the browser-based system represent an enormous advantage for the company: Employees worldwide, who can automatically register as users via single sign-on, can find all documents in a central location and can also quickly access relevant content from their home office. The change view makes it easy to track revisions, ensuring the quality of the company's products and services with audit-proof adaptations and standards-compliant process governance. For a pre-live with around 4,500 users and initial pilot processes, the BPM team received a lot of positive feedback and is therefore confident that employees will quickly experience their own successes with the software after the full roll-out. In the future, the company would like to focus not only on continuously improving processes and completing the business process model, but also on digitalizing processes that were previously controlled manually. To this end, LEONI is planning a "proof of value" with BIC Process Execution, the module for automated workflows in BIC Platform, in order to evaluate the possibilities of holistic control and handling of manual processes and individual workflows from BIC Platform.
