Understanding
the flow of work is essential,
|
|
|
because the
problems today’s organization
|
|
|
encounters are
usually between functions,
|
|
|
|
not within
them.
|
|
|
|
è |
By
focusing on customers rather than bosses, a
|
|
|
process
view makes us pay attention to the supplier-
|
|
|
customer
chain along which products and services are
|
|
|
produced
and delivered.
|
|
|
|
è |
Cross-functional
problems are commonly found when
|
|
|
any
department depicted by the traditional organization
|
|
chart
interacts with other units.
|
|
|
|
è |
Of
course, cross-functional “handoffs” are not the only
|
|
|
source
of problems. Handoffs between people within
|
|
|
departments
or units also can create delay and
|
|
|
duplication
of effort.
