Utilize MS Visio or some modeling tool to show your flow chart? What's your idea of processes? High level overview from start to finish. The reason why you would do it to save the business money? Thanks for any feedback. I was just thinking about creating a details level process improvement flow chart with the steps listed on a word document. I plan on embedding the flow chart into the word document to keep it centralized. I plan on attempting of using the PDCA cycle to revise the process once I complete the first version.

MS it's post like these when realize how little I actually do know The tool I am looking for is more for work flow efficiencies in day to day operations. Not full blown work break down structures or business process models. Thanks again -N2

However, I think you'll learn that the static process models that everyone makes with Visio are often no more than just pretty pictures. I'm really not sure how as you model "efficiencies" in a tool that's incapable of accounting for the costs, people aspects, etc...of processes? SIPOC can be used without any tool. It's easy to learn, you don't have to buy anything to use it, and it's a good way to organize many different aspects of processes. MS

Visio is really pointless because the process models are basically static and it gives no empirical evidence of anything. Tools like WBM allow you to associate roles, responsibilities, cost, etc.. with activities of the process and then run simulations to determine what a process will cost, how improvements helped, etc... If one is so inclined WBM can generate various types of code if you are in a environment where processes are defined as executable objects. Another tool that I've used that does simulation really well is Arena by Rockwell. MS
