Business Process Improvement / Re-Engineering

In most airport organizations, the way of doing business has evolved by gradually adding and changing processes over a long period of time during which automated systems support has been added or changed several times. As systems or compliance requirements change, many organizations overlook or don't take the time to reassess business processes under the new operating environment, causing inefficiencies and gaps.

DCG provides a full range of business process improvement services - from project specific reviews of specific functions in conjunction with new systems implementations or regulatory mandates, to enterprise-wide productivity improvement programs where we help facilitate and train internal staff to conduct their own improvement work; such as in conjunction with a Balance Scorecard initiative.

Our project scopes and approaches encompass organizational policies, regulations, procedures, work tasks, and work methods in order to design highly efficient work flows, staffing standards, and staffing needs. Work is either performed by our consultants or we work as facilitators in teams, side by side with client business analysts to work through improvements. Then we assist you with benchmarking best practices and determining how to adapt the learning to your organization's culture. We complete our work by facilitating and implementing robust solutions that align your redesigned processes with enabling information technologies. Our goal is to assist your organization in realizing exceptional levels of performance from all of your critical business processes.
