How would you go about performing a gap analysis on an organization's processes? Is there certain steps to it?

Conceptually, this is a simple task.  Identify the business unit's core process while simultaneously identifying the problems with it.  Determine the problem with either the greatest ROI (if cash is immediately required), maximum visibility (if you need to establish credibility), or least risk (if you doubt top management support) and fix that one first.\n\nIn reality, this is very difficult if not impossible for someone inside an organization to do because of questions about management support, access and control over available resources, political resistance, etc.

Follow the basic of Management Concept (POLC)\n\nP - Planning\nThis is where you plan your roadmap, where is your company leading to? how can you improve your products or services?\n\nO - Organize\nThis is where you should execute the activities that have been planned, don't delay anything unless you have to. keep this in mind, "Strike the hammer while the iron is hot.", if theres things to be done, do it while the heat is on. dont do it when the subject gone stale.\n\nL - Lead\nBe a role model, to yourself and others. create certain boundaries in the office. be strict to your subordinates, when theres a job to be done, finish it.\n\nC - Control\nMake sure your resources are sufficient and accurate, do not have surplus or shortage of resources.\n\nI hope this answer is ok =)

if you can remember \n\n1. vertical analysis (aka 100% analysis) where sales is 100% and the rest are expressed as a percentage of sales, done on a year by year basis, then interpret the relationship of each account to the total sales;\n\n2. horizontal analysis using the first year as the base year and computing for the percentage increase/decrease on the succeeding years, in amount and percentage, then interpret the increase/decrease, maybe the causes and implications;\n\n3. ratio analysis by computing the financial ratios each period then interpret these ratios relating to the operational, financial or investing activities.\n\ngood luck.

basically take two groups of people - one group who has used another erp system and another that has never used an automated erp system and ask them to rate the system on how easy it is for them to use. whichever system BOTH groups find it easiest to use should rank the highest since each group has their own inherent view of how it should work and you are likely to have to satisfy both constituencies.

when an organisation is in business it must decide what it is going to do how, and why? This is the planning stage, a study of the external and internal environments (environmental scanning) will show what the core competances of the compnay are and they can set about establishing goals, the goal must be inline with what these are and how they are going to achieve it and must permeate through the whole oganisation so they are aware of what they want.\n\ngoogle search click on advanced and then search in domains ac.uk, should give you some good answers, or try bized.co.uk?\n\nhope it helps

When setting objectives, list down key result areas for each particular objective, as well as a matching measurable performance indicators. the strategies must then be set in line with your objective and must answer to your key result areas and measured through performance indicators.\n\nFor example, your main company goal is to increase profitability and your main strategy being to increase sales by providing higher comission rates to agents surpassing their quota, your Key Result Area would be the total sales of say $1,000,000.00 per agent. your agent's actual performance would then be matched to your set KRA and would measure as Performance Indicator.

If I have an unwanted situation which consumes resources and tends to happen in a repeated fashion then there is a possibility that it might be beneficial to figure out what is really causing this situation to occur and remove it so the situation does not occur again. This is generally referred to as Root Cause Analysis, finding the real cause of the problem and dealing with it rather than simply continuing to deal with the symptoms.\n\nThis raises several questions:\n\nHow does one determine which situations are candidates for root cause analysis? \nHow does one figure out what the root cause is? \nDoes the removal of the cause entail less resource expenditure than it takes to continue to deal with the symptom?

review your processes and technology.  business within a company normally follows some sort of flow (hopefully!).  i have used a flow diagram to get a sense of how things are happening.  most times you will need to interview employees to hear directly how they are doing their jobs (sometimes what you think might be happening isn't)\n\nafter you've done the audit, you can often times spot redundancies or inefficientcies.  this can apply to all parts of your business - from personnel workflow, to technology to...  absolutely anything that is part of a process.

Please explain exactly what you need-  I'm not sure I'm totally understanding the question.  If you're talking about a job analysis, that's not an entire program... or you may need to do a fishbone diagram of the departments in your company to organize things before you start???

Repeating the same questions is an excellent method of achieving quality.  It is called "auditing".  You audit the organization's ability to follow the defined processes.

Step 1: Bang head against wall to confirm gap (pay special \n        attention to any echo)\n2:      Hop on one foot with head leaning on side to \n        confirm result of step 1\n3:      Chop encyclopedia into small pieces, grind it and \n        spread on table. Stick vaccum cleaner tube into one\n        ear and direct other ear on the said table. Look \n        for "ON" button and press it. Use a filter on tube \n        for best results.\n4:      Gap should be (partially) filled. If not, proceed \n        to sue parents.

The process industries, including the petroleum, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical businesses, have benchmarked best management practices to understand capital project system performance. They have identified Value Improving Practices (VIP) that deliver results. These include the practices of Value Engineering, Process Simplification, Project Value Objectives, Constructibility Reviews, and others. \n\nLZA is a leader in applying VIPs to process designs. Phillips Petroleum adopted LZA's Project Value Objectives technique as one of its own VIPs. Through Project Value Objectives, the stakeholders of a project (engineering, production, marketing, the finance/business manager, and the user) define the project's objectives for such critical factors as cost, schedule, cycle time, quality, and safety. Developing the project definition and goals in a team approach ensures that the required functions are stated and the needs of each participant are clearly communicated. This is typically the earliest and best technique to define a program.\n\nMany owners apply two or three Value Improving Practices to a project over its planning/design life cycle, thereby ensuring that not only the project but also the total capital program are conceived and managed for optimum performance. \n\nLZA has assisted many process owners with Value Engineering, Process Simplification, Project Value Objectives, and Constructibility Review services.

Gap, Inc. is a publicly traded corporation, so it will be in the footnotes to the financial statements in their 10K, which should be available on the SEC Edgar system.  Also in their annual report, which should be mailed with proxy materials to each shareholder.  Most sophisticated public corporations these days have both available online in the Investor Relations section of their web site.

You probably mean transactional analysis, developed by Eric Berne.  See http://www.itaa-net.org/ta/index.htm

you need to take initiaticve and do it yourself.  Then present to your level of co-workers, let them have aome input.  Then present to the higer-ups.  or you can ask the higer-up to giv eyou a crack at it (which they would perfer, i'm sure, but since they are unorganized....)\nDo they have a board of diorector?  These are the folks who ususally are responsible for such an act.

Well, from my experience I would probably research the necessary information, organize it and write an outline. Oh, and create an organized time schedule, do not procastinate. I have had bad experiences with procastinating, it sucks!
