　　There have been two recent articles in Student Accountant magazine (September 2008 and January 2009)

　　relating to P3, both of which deal with process change and which make use of ‘swim lane’ diagrams to depict

　　a process. The January article stated that students could be expected to be presented with one of these

　　diagrams in their exam as the examiner feels that they are very effective way of depicting processes and for

　　identifying areas that could be improved. There would be no requirement to draw such a diagram.

　　In summary, the importance and methods of process change as set out in these articles are as follows:

　　1. Businesses exist to add value, which gives them the ability to make profits (margin).

　　2. The value chain shows the activities which are available to add value – though does not show how to

　　add value. Value can be added by using the business’s resources, but is more likely added by using the

　　business’s competences.

　　3. Individual activities could add value but, more likely, value is added by creating processes by organising a

　　number of different activities.

　　For example, a supermarket adds value by providing its customers with a large range of products, quality

　　controlled, and conveniently gathered together in one place. Procurement (ordering and purchasing),

　　inbound logistics (goods-in, inspection), operations (good shops, well-stocked shelves) and outbound

　　logistics (adequate car parks and home delivery options), and sales and marketing (loyalty cards) are

　　certainly involved. But what is important is not the individual activities, but the whole process of getting

　　the right food at the right quality and price to customers. As mentioned in the September article “Slack et

　　al defines a process as ‘an arrangement of resources that transforms inputs into outputs that satisfy (internal

　　or external) customer needs’”.

　　4. Improving business processes is an essential step in improving profits, and extent of process improvement

　　can be categorised as:

　　• Process re-engineering. A very radical, zero-based rethink, usually characterised as taking place at the

　　strategic level.

　　• Process redesign. An intermediate level of change, often said to be at the operational level.

　　• Process improvement. Smaller changes at a much more operational level.
