Definition
This is the root of the PCF hierarchy
Develop vision and strategy establishes a direction and vision for an
organization. It involves defining the business concept and long-term
vision, as well as developing the business strategy and managing
strategic initiatives. Processes in this category focus on creating a
vision, a mission, and strategic objectives, and culminate in creating
measures to ensure that the organization is moving in the desired
direction.
The Define the business concept and long-term vision process group
encompasses four processes related to developing an organizations
strategy and business design. First, the organization assesses the
external environment, which provides insight into the operating
framework. Next, the organization surveys the market, which
provides insight into business opportunities and customer desires.
Third, there is an internal analysis of the organizations
characteristics, which assesses how it matches market requirements
and opportunities; this process results in the ability to define internal
core capabilities. Finally, the organization defines a strategic vision
that states long-term goals. This process group forms an
organizations strategic direction.

The Develop business strategy process group encompasses the
development of an organizations mission statement, strategy, and
business design. The first step is to develop a mission statement that
clarifies the reason for the organization. The next steps are to define
key steps in realizing the vision and to develop strategic options to
achieve objectives. Implications of strategic options should match
the organizations internal capabilities, which are then transformed
into a long-term business strategy. After the organizations strategy
is defined, functional and process strategies are developed to
coordinate with the overarching vision. Based on the requirements
set through these processes, an organizational design is created and
goals are defined. The formulation of business unit strategies is the
final process in this group.

Manage strategic initiatives focuses on actions, projects, or programs


that enable an organization to realize its strategy and achieve goals.
It includes analyzing the operating environment for the development
of strategic initiatives. Strategic initiatives are evaluated and the
most appropriate initiatives are selected for execution. It is critical to
follow the progress of execution so that the impact of the initiatives
is identified. Refer to 12.2 Manage portfolio, program, and project for
additional information on managing strategic initiatives.
Develop and manage products and services represents the process
groups "management of the product and service portfolio" and
"develop of products and services."

This process group encompasses all processes associated with
product and service portfolio management, including the analysis of
the current portfolio compared to market opportunities and the
definition of requirements for new/evolved products and services
using that analysis. This group also includes activities related to the
alignment of new additions to the portfolio with corporate business
strategy as well as the management of the product or service
lifecycle. Preliminary research and development falls in this group,
under 2.1.3 Perform discovery research.
The Evaluate performance of existing products/services against
market opportunities process is used to identify gaps between
existing product/service capabilities or performance levels and the
current market demand, available technologies, and customer
requirements. This process culminates in the decision of whether or
not to proceed with investments in the development of new
deliverables. Input gathered from customers through exercises such
as focus groups assess marketplace need. In addition, input can be
gathered from internal or third-party service organizations to support
the product/service evaluation. Although the marketplace may look
for new technologies or techniques to enhance existing products and
services, customers may not be willing to pay more for them.
Accordingly, remember that perfection can be the enemy of good
enough. Find out exactly what customers are willing to pay for, and
ensure that efforts do not exceed the parameters of the development
business case. This is especially important for global products where
cost and availability issues may be more apparent.

Having evaluated the market needs and specified the requirements
for new product or services, the Confirm alignment of product/service
concepts with business strategy process is a reality check prior to
significant investment by the organization. It ensures that the new
product/service concepts are in line with overall business strategy.
This process plans and develops the cost, quality, and risk targets for
the new products/services. This process can also be used in the
prioritization and timing of development activities if there are a
number of concepts vying for funding or other scarce resources. This
process is most useful when the business strategy is current. If the
strategy is outdated, this process may trigger a review of the
corporate business direction and drivers.

The Manage product and service life cycle process describes how new
products and services are conceived, introduced to the market,
supported, and retired. This process also encompasses how new
product performance in the marketplace is monitored and
continuously improved. Introduction of the new product/service may
be timed to coincide with key marketing opportunities. Products and
services should be retired when their marketplace or cost
effectiveness begins to decline below a predetermined threshold.
Once a product or service has reached marketplace maturity, its
performance indicators should be continuously refined.

The Perform discovery research process encompasses those tasks
and decisions associated with early-stage research and development
when product/service assumptions are greater than knowledge.
Based on the gap between current product/service characteristics
and new/changing requirements (from the marketplace, customers,
or other business forces), organizations use this process to identify
and develop new technologies in support of a new product. This
process also includes an assessment of how feasible it is to
incorporate those new or potential technologies into products and
services. This process guides the funding and documentation of
preliminary research and development projects and ensures that any
findings (related to feasibility of technology or other
recommendations) carry over to stage-gate processes that drive
overall product/service development. Consider the ramifications of
being too bleeding-edge (as opposed to being on the leading or
cutting edge) with new products. Key stakeholders in the supply
chain or marketplace may not be ready to adopt the latest and
greatest technologies, increasing the risk that the product or service
will not succeed or be adopted.

The Define product/service development requirements process
encompasses the identification and capture of new product/ service
requirements or potential improvements to current products/services.
This process entails collaboration with members of the supply chain
to ensure the feasibility of what is being defined in the requirements.
For example, a product with manufacturing requirements that supply
chain cannot currently fulfill requires a corporate decision to either
upgrade manufacturing capabilities or abandon the new product.
Enterprise-level effects and needs must be considered. Depending on
the nature of the final product or service, these requirements are
often defined as a set of abilities, such as availability or reliability,
that influence product development decisions.

The Design, build, and evaluate product and services process
describes the core engineering design and development of any new
product/service introduction or existing product/service upgrade. The
process includes planning the development of the product/service
and assigning resources to deliver the plan. Building on the research
and development efforts carried out earlier in the development
lifecycle, these process activities further define the engineering
intent based on customer specifications and input from marketplace
gap analysis. Further detailed specifications may be developed as
part of this process to ensure compliance to original requirements.
This process can also include collaboration with customers to review
progress and ensure compliance; with suppliers to stay current on
any changes in requirements; and, where applicable, with regulatory
bodies for product or service certification. Cross-functional
collaboration, in parallel with the pure design definition, will enable
the capture and honing of manufacturing, tooling, production, quality,
inspection, and in-service requirements. With the design underway,
organizations may chose to create physical or virtual prototypes of
the products to aid with compliance certification. They may also
conduct customer acceptance testing to eliminate, as early as
possible, any quality or reliability problems.

The process Test market for new or revised products and services is a
more detailed iteration of the marketplace analysis that took place
earlier in the product development lifecycle. The results from this indepth analysis will help the organization finalize product/service
characteristics and technical requirements and also identify any
needed changes in the manufacturing and delivery processes that
support market delivery. To prepare a detailed market study that
accounts for any changes in the global environment, the organization
may want to conduct a series of interviews, workshops, and focus
groups with potential and existing customers.

The "market and sell products and services" category contains
process groups related to understanding markets, customers, and
capabilities; developing marketing strategies; executing marketing
plans; developing sales strategies; developing and managing
marketing plans; and managing sales partners and alliances.

In the Perform customer and market intelligence analysis process, an


organization researches the market and collects/ reviews data about
its customers. This may be accomplished through surveys, secondary
research, customer feedback repositories, customer conversations,
polls, etc. Contacting and/or profiling existing customers is a key way
to determine which marketing strategies work and which do not.
During this process, the organization also looks internally at its
existing offerings and at the current business environment, gathering
data and charting trends. The information collected here will be used
in process 3.1.2 Evaluate and prioritize market opportunities. Before
starting this process, identify your target buyer, any obstacles in
reaching that buyer, and risks associated with entering that market.
Redefine this target buyer if research reveals new markets and
potential customers. Importantly, map out the customer buying cycle
during this process. Determining the customer buying cycle allows
marketing and sales to reach customers before budgets are locked
and at optimal times of the year.

Definition
During the Evaluate and prioritize market opportunities process, an
organization takes the information and analysis gathered in process
3.1.1 Perform customer and market intelligence analysis and
determines which opportunities exist to connect with customers in
the marketplace. Organizations typically begin by identifying where
new touch points can be gained or where new customer bases may
exist. Then, those opportunities are prioritized according to the
resources, strategic direction, and availability of the organization.
Organizations also segment customers into meaningful categories
during this process and verify that the opportunities identified can be
pursued from every angle of the business.

Based on strategy established within develop marketing strategy


and through coordination with sales strategies established in
develop sales strategy, the organization creates specific plans to
market its offerings to customers within this process group. This
process group includes processes for making budgets, identifying and
developing media, pricing products and services, managing
packaging, managing marketing content and promotional activities,
tracking and responding to customer insight and monitoring
measures established within develop marketing strategy.
Additionally, in this process group, organizations take action on plans
made in earlier processes. Here, marketing and customers are
managed and measured along with any supporting materials.

In the Establish marketing budgets process, an organization ensures
that marketing plans align with business strategy and, based on
those links, determines how those plans should be budgeted. This
includes making cost assumptions, forecasting return on investment,
and attributing the costs to the appropriate areas of the business.
This process is often accomplished prior to process 3.1.1 Perform
customer and market intelligence analysis; the timing will differ from
organization to organization, depending on the budgeting schedule
and which departments handle that process.
The Develop and manage media process involves any kind of media
the organization chooses to use to market its offerings to customers.
The choice of media should be determined based on customer
characteristics and market strategy. This process includes the
sourcing and engagement of media providers as well as the actual
creation of media materials and the messages they contain. Defining
the ultimate objectives for each piece of media and assessing the
performance of media against marketing plans and projections also
take place here Begin this process early, engaging with public
relations firms and external contacts well in advance of campaigns.
Give the media time to gain interest.
During the Develop and manage pricing process, the organization
determines pricing plans for its offerings based on forecasted sales
and the characteristics of its customers. This process is ongoing
throughout the lifecycle of a product or service and depends on
market, customer, sales, and production costs. Activity 3.4.4.3
Evaluate pricing performance can be executed at any time to
reexamine pricing thresholds and schedules, and changes can be
made in activity 3.4.4.4 Refine pricing as needed.

The Develop and manage promotional activities process
encompasses all activities related to conceptualizing, testing,
executing product/service/brand promotions. Once a promotion has
launched, this process continues as the organization tweaks parts of
the promotion or chooses to use ideas or lessons learned during the
promotion in future activities. The promotions performance
according to organizational measures is also evaluated in this
process. Determine early on whether you need third party help with
promotion. You may need to purchase lists, consult with social media
experts, hire seasonal staff, or pay for additional research

The Track customer management measures process focuses on the


analysis of customer data in order to refine strategy and marketing
plans. These measures are primarily quantitative, but qualitative
information can be used as well. Focus on the value of customers and
their responsiveness to marketing campaigns and promotions to
determine priorities and tactics for reaching customers more
effectively.

Within the Develop and manage packaging strategy process,
organizations determine how to physically package their products to
facilitate transportation, preservation, and brand communication.
Marketing, product development, and supply chain functions typically
work together in this process to develop packaging that functions
properly (for transport, storage, delivery, etc.), informs the customer
of how to use the product, attracts customer attention, and grows
brand awareness. This process includes the planning and testing of
packaging for a product as well as the actual execution and ongoing
improvement of the packaging. Execution activities will vary by
organization depending on which departments handle the actual
design, manufacturing, and application of the physical package.
Marketing may hand off these tasks completely or may remain
involved. In any case, marketing should evaluate the effectiveness
and value of the packaging on an ongoing basis.

Develop and manage sales plans includes the processes required to


manage sales on an ongoing basis. This process group covers the
activities an organization uses to sell products and services. These
processes are often highly linked to processes within categories
deliver products and services and "manage customer service, and
sales must align with these categories in order to set customer
expectations appropriately. Sales staff must deal with customers
based on products and services the organization actually provides,
using the same schedule that product/service development,
production, and customer service follow. This process group also
includes some processes related to managing sales personnel and
partnerships/alliances sales may form with other entities.

The Generate leads process involves identifying viable customers
based on strategy and market research conducted in process group
3.1 Understand markets, customers, and capabilities. This process
covers the discovery of leads, whether this process is accomplished
through an IT application, cold calling, reference/network
development, or other sales methodology. Every organization can
usually generate leads, but it takes extra work to identify quality
leads. Develop a well-defined scoring model to determine which
leads to prioritize.
During the Manage customers and accounts process, the organization
develops and executes customer relationship management plans.
This includes the accumulation of customer data in the appropriate
tools (IT applications and systems) and the administrative
management of proactive and responsive customer contact and
facilitation methods (processes you have mapped for responding to
customer inquiries and making scheduled contact).
The Manage customer sales process includes the basic activities
required to open and close a sale. It covers initial sales calls and all
the preparatory work required to make sure that customers get the
information they need and that you completely understand what they
want before the sale is made. It also encompasses the actual closing
of the sale, along with any administrative activities related to data
entry and the processing of the sale. Entering lessons learned,
updating customer or sales information, and transferring information
to billing or other departments as part of making and closing out the
sale also fall within this category.
Once a sale has been achieved, the Manage sales orders process
begins. It involves the acceptance/validation of sales orders,
coordination with other departments required to fulfill the orders,
data entry, and follow-up activities such as inquiries and reports of
transactions.

The Manage sales force process involves allocating the appropriate
number of sales resources to strategically advantageous locations or
customer segments. The management of the sales force includes the
development of an incentive plan to drive sales as well as
coordinating sales assignments.
The Manage sales partners and alliances process incorporates
activities required to manage working relationships with external
sales or channel entities. The process involves training new partners
in the organizations offerings and sales strategy, developing a
cooperative forecast based on the expected output of the partner and
their requirements of the organization, determining appropriate
compensation, measuring and evaluating the results, tracking data,
and analyzing progress. The organization should regularly review,
prioritize, and update these partnerships in process 3.3.2 Develop
sales partner/alliance relationships.

"Deliver products and services" refers to the process groups "plan for
and align supply chain resources," "procure materials and services,"
"produce/manufacture/deliver product, "deliver service to customer,"
and "manage logistics and warehousing." This category is
traditionally referred to as "supply chain."
This category includes all processes that are involved in planning,
including managing the demand for products and services, creating a
materials plan, and scheduling production to meet actual demand.
Sales and operations planning activities are included in this process
group. Key sales and operations planning activities result in the
development of the sales and production plan. The processes in this
group may be performed regularly (i.e. at the beginning of each
period).

Manage demand for products and services is the process that
defines the activities used to predict demand for products and
services, including forecast measurements (such as baseline and
consensus), collaboration with customers, and allocating available to
promise inventory or capable to promise capacity. Various types of
demand are considered in this process, including firm demand,
opportunity demand, and forecasted demand; these comprise the
overall demand plan. Note that demand management can take on a
different aspect through the use of promotions and pricing in cases
where demand must be constrained due to limited availability, or
where there is a goal to motivate purchases of certain products or
services. An important measure for this process is forecast accuracy
percentage.
The create materials plan process is used to source and obtain
materials needed to execute operations necessary to meet customer
demand. In products-related businesses, materials plans consider
hard goods, while in services oriented businesses, materials plans
consider management of service delivery resources. Critical to the
success of this process is the definition and maintenance of item
nomenclature for products based industries and skills taxonomies for
services based industries. Without common nomenclatures,
mismatches between suppliers and producers can occur. This process
begins with generating an unconstrained plan. Additional steps
include collaborating with suppliers or contractors, identifying critical
materials and supplier constraints, anticipating special events that
restrict supply flow, and generating a constrained plan. Demand may
be geographic, regional, and global, and the material plan must take
into account the most practical means to satisfy the demand using
identified resources

The procure materials and services process group addresses the
collaborative sourcing that takes place based upon the Production
Order (refreshed monthly, weekly and even daily) to supply the
factory lines as needed. It includes the business activities of
procurement planning, purchasing, and sourcing beginning with
developing sourcing strategies for materials and services, the
selection of suppliers to provide the materials and services, the
development and maintenance of the corresponding contracts, and
the ordering of materials and services. Finally, the performance of the
procurement function is assessed. Procurement includes both direct
and general items, for example, production parts and products;
maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) supplies; and services
(administrative and technical). Procurement may also include
subcontracted labor resources.

Developing sourcing strategies, also known as supplier portfolio
strategies, comprises multiple activities including clarifying
purchasing requirements, matching needs to supplier capabilities,
analyzing a companys spend profile to identify high opportunity
categories, matching the most effective sourcing strategy by
category, seeking opportunities to improve efficiency and value, and
collaborating with suppliers to identify sourcing strategies. The
process may include the development of a timeline that incorporates
sourcing milestones for each category of sourced product or service.
Sourcing strategies are occasionally identified by category or
supplier, for example, reverse auction, request for information (RFI),
request for proposal (RFP), request for quote (RFQ), or consortium.
For services business that are human resource-centric, the sourcing
strategy will include sources of supply other than those that are
procured. For example, in-house, low-cost labor from other
geographies, low-cost labor from alternate employee categories (e.g.,
retirees that reenter the company with a modified employment type),
use of affiliates, or a joint venture. All of these elements are used to
create a procurement strategy and plan that guides purchasing
activities with a focus on reducing total cost of supply and creating a
balanced supplier portfolio.

The process to select suppliers and develop/maintain contracts is


responsible for selecting suppliers (typically through a request for
information [RFI], request for proposal [RFP], or request for quote
[RFQ] process) to create business value, reduce cost, and ensure
quality. The process comprises multiple activities including identifying
categories of purchase, matching suppliers by category, certifying
and validating suppliers, and negotiating and managing contracts

Order materials and services is the process of planning, ordering,
and executing the physical delivery of materials and services from
suppliers to the points of need and use. This process comprises
multiple activities including processing/ reviewing requisitions,
approving requisitions, soliciting/tracking vendor quotes,
creating/distributing purchase orders, expediting orders to satisfy
special requests, and researching/resolving exceptions.
Appraising and developing suppliers is the process of developing and
managing programs and policies for interacting with suppliers and
measuring/improving their performance. This includes monitoring and
managing supplier information, preparing/analyzing spend and
vendor performance (including meeting quality standards) supporting
inventory and production processes, and the creation/implementation
of suppler training and certification programs
The process group produce/manufacture/deliver product comprises
three main high-level processes: scheduling production, producing
the product and delivering it to the appropriate site, and scheduling
and performing maintenance on the capital equipment used during
production. Manufacturing is the physical production of finished
goods.

This category includes all of the processes that are included in


servicing products produced elsewhere in the supply chain. These
processes include confirming the specific service requirements,
identifying and scheduling resources to meet the service delivery
requirements, providing the specific service to the customer, and
ensuring that the quality standards are met and the quality of the
service is acceptable to the customer.

This process includes creating or updating a customer profile record,
processing individual customer requests and generating service
orders. This may involve systems like customer segmentation,
customer relationship management (CRM), order management, etc.
As part of the process, external and internal customer service audits
may be conducted by the company
This process requires creating a resource plan/schedule and an order
fulfillment schedule. The resources could include any of the following:
personnel, raw materials, equipment, time frames, and finances.
Customer service needs might require product development, shipping
options, inventory management, order tracking, returns
management, etc.
To ensure the quality of service, a company can identify completed
product service orders and solicit customer feedback on delivery
expectations as a part of the improvement process.
This process group encompasses the management of warranty
claims. It begins with the development and administration of
warranty claim transactions, progresses to the processing of the
claim, adjustments, approvals and other service events and ends with
the management of the warranty experience, which includes the

Manage logistics and warehousing is the process that plans,
implements, and controls the forward and reverse flow and storage of
goods, services, and related information between the point of origin
and the point of consumption in order to meet customers
requirements. This includes defining a logistics strategy and
managing inbound transportation, warehousing, and outbound
transportation.
Defining logistics strategy refers to the process of translating
customer service requirements into capacity requirements and lead
time requirements; designing the logistics network required to meet
these requirements, including network components such as
warehouse and distribution center (DC) assets, transportation assets,
technology infrastructure, and inventory deployment; working with
procurement to identify, negotiate, and maintain outsourcing
agreements; defining delivery service policy elements such as lead
times, delivery performance levels, and shipping days; and defining
key performance measures such as logistics costs, inbound delivery
performance, space utilization, asset utilization, and outbound carrier
delivery performance. It also includes managing third-party resources
and global/international logistics strategies.

This is the process of planning, transporting, and tracking the


delivery of all incoming materials; monitoring inbound transportation
carrier performance; and managing the flow of returned materials.
Warehousing is the process of receiving, inspecting, and storing
incoming materials; picking, packing, and shipping product for
outbound delivery; and tracking inventory deployment. Warehousing
supports inbound and outbound transportation services. It may
include raw materials, finished goods, products for consumer
fulfillment, and/or vendor-managed inventory (VMI). It also includes
the evaluation and implementation of private, contract, and public
warehousing options.

Operate outbound transportation is the process of preparing the
goods for delivery from a warehouse to a receiving location. It
typically comprises activities like the notification of goods to be
supplied from a warehouse to a customer, carrier selection, loading,
advanced shipping notification, proof of delivery from the receiving
location and freight bill auditing. Many of these services are provided
by transportation management systems.
Returns processing is the physical handling, information processing,
and disposition of the product and packaging returned by the buyer
to the seller or an intermediary. Returns management includes return
approval, transportation coordination, advance communication,
product tracking, receipt, disposition of the return (reuse of the
material, waste disposal, refurbish, repair, resale, etc.) and
processing warranty claims (crediting the customer account, material
substitution, replacement, etc.).

The use of category 5.0 processes will depend on the nature of an
organizations business. At some organizationssuch as those in
telecommunications, food service, customer contact services, or
retailthe core business (or a significant portion of the business) is
customer service. In these cases, category 4.0 Deliver Products and
Services may be more appropriatein particular, process group 4.4
Deliver service to customer. When thinking about the distinction
between the delivery of a service and the customer service
function, remember that the employee or group that delivers an
initial service to a customer (such as a restaurant server or retail
store cashier) is often not the same person or group that deals with
customer inquiries, requests, and complaints after the fact. Those
who deal with customers before and after the delivery of a service
are typically working within the category 5.0 Manage Customer
Service. Those delivering the service are working within 4.0 Deliver
Products and Services. The distinction between the two depends on
the needs of the organization. As long as the organization is
consistent in its use of particular processes for certain business
activities, the framework structure will work. But typically, categories
4.0 and 5.0 deal with activities related to actual provision of the
product or service (4.0) and activities related to customer contact
before or after that provision (5.0). Note that not all key performance
indicators (KPIs) listed in this document will apply to every
organization. The KPIs selected by an organization depend on its
structure, strategy, and critical objectives.

Process group 5.1 Develop customer care/customer service strategy
involves understanding and segmenting customers, creating policies
to govern customer service, and setting service targets and priorities.
Some of these determinations may be informed by segmentation and
relationship building that occurred within process category 3.0 Market
and Sell Products and Services. This strategy governs the way the
organization provides service to customers proactively or in response
to customer requests/issues.
During the Develop customer service segmentation/prioritization
process, an organization analyzes its existing customers and any
feedback it has received. Based on research and customer
characteristics and needs, the organization develops an appropriate
customer segmentation plan and links customers with the
appropriate segment. The organization also prioritizes customers and
the types of issues that should be escalated in priority.
The Define customer service policies and procedures process
encompasses all the steps required to develop a set of policies and
procedures for dealing with customer inquiries, requests, issues, and
outreach. These policies govern the actions of employees who
provide customer service, and the particulars depend on the kinds of
customer service offered by the organization and the importance of
customer service to the profitability of the business.
In the Establish service levels for customers process, the organization
determines the degree of service it will provide, sometimes differing
according to customer segment or type of issue. These targets may
be referenced on organizational or individual employee scorecards
and are typically communicated to employees during the onboarding
process. These levels may be linked to the policies constructed in
process 5.1.2 Define customer service policies and procedures.

This process group involves the development of plans and
management standards for the customer service work force and the
actual processing and management of customer service requests,
inquiries, and complaints. The way these processes are performed
depends heavily on the strategy, policies, and service levels
established in process group develop customer care/customer
service strategy.
The Plan and manage customer service work force process
concentrates on managing customer service personnel specifically,
over and above the activities that reside within process category 6.0
Develop and Manage Human Capital. Customer service employee
planning requires the organization to forecast the volume of contact
the customer service function is likely to receive within the quarter
(and/or other time periods as necessitated by the business). Based on
that forecast and knowledge of typical customer contact cycle times
and desired service levels, the organization can determine how many
employees are required and how they should be scheduled. The
scheduling of the work force is based on many factors, including
historical service trends and anticipated high-volume time periods.
During this process, the work forces time and utilization is also
tracked to enable accurate forecasting in future years. In addition to
tracking utilization, the quality of customer interactions is also
monitored and measured in this process. The criteria for evaluating
customer interactions depends on the nature of the business and the
service levels established in process 5.1.3 Establish service levels for

The Manage customer complaints process deals with every aspect of
customer complaints, from initial receipt and routing to resolution
and response. This process depends on the planning that occurred in
process group 5.1 and process 5.2.1. Customer service
representatives themselves accomplish these activities, and their
performance is measured in process group 5.3 Measure and evaluate
customer service operations. Complaints are handled slightly
differently from requests and inquiries, and thus, an activity (5.2.3.3)
is present in process 5.2.3 that does not exist in process 5.2.2
Manage customer service requests/inquiries. Activity 5.2.3.3 Resolve
customer complaints typically occurs internally, when organization
convenes to find an appropriate resolution to the complaint or when
an employee executes an action to satisfy the complaint (e.g., fixing
a broken link on a Web site or correcting a line item on a receipt or
invoice). Once the issue has been resolved or a plan for resolution
has been formulated, the organization can move forward to activity
5.2.3.4 Respond to customer complaints. During activity 5.2.3.4,
customer service may tell the customer that the issue has been
resolved or may discuss the potential solutions to identify next steps.

In the Measure customer satisfaction with customer complaint
handling and resolution process, the organization gathers information
from customers about how their complaints were handed by
customer service representatives. (Note that the measurement of
noncompliant inquiries occurs in process 5.3.1, and customer
satisfaction with the products and services themselves is measured in
process 5.3.3.) This information may be collected in person, through
surveys, by interviewing customers, in online forms, by retrieving it

In the Measure customer satisfaction with products and services
process, the organization gathers information from customers about
their experience with the products and services themselves. (Note
that the measurement of customer inquiry handling occurs in process
5.3.1, and the measurement of complaint handling occurs in process
5.3.2.) Organizations may chose to track these activities here (in
process 5.3.3) or through activities 4.4.4.3 Solicit customer feedback
on services delivered and 4.4.4.4 Process customer feedback on
services. This decision usually depends on the strategic use of an
organizations customer service Wherever this information is tracked,
it may be collected in person, through surveys, by interviewing
customers, in online forms, by retrieving it from other areas of the
business, or through other methods. This process includes both the
solicitation and analysis of feedback along with the reporting of
feedback and conclusions to management and other areas of the
business as necessary. Feedback received here can inform activities
2.1.2.1 Identify potential improvements to existing products and
services, 2.1.2.2 Identify potential new products and services, and
3.1.1.1 Conduct customer and market research. Customer
satisfaction data may be analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively,
depending on the nature of the customer responses and the needs of
the organization. Likewise, the reporting methods should match the
standards of the organization, whether through spreadsheets,
meetings, or online tools. The extent, duration, and frequency of the
evaluation will also depend on the organization and its business. The
communication of this information throughout the business may be
essential to the growth of the business and its overall understanding
of customer needs.

and reimbursements for employee expenses on the organizations
behalf as well as capturing and reporting relevant tax data and
managing personal accounts. This process often dovetails with the
processing of accounts payable and includes the development and
use of policies and procedures.
The "manage treasury operations" process group includes the
management of treasury policies and procedures, cash, bank
accounts, debts, investments, and financial risks.
This process involves establishing the scope and governance of
treasury operations; creating and publishing treasury policies;
developing, monitoring, auditing, and revising treasury procedures;
developing and confirming internal treasury controls; and defining
system security requirements.
This process includes managing and reconciling cash positions;
managing cash equivalents; processing and overseeing electronic
fund transfers; developing cash flow forecasts; managing cash flows;
producing cash management accounting transactions and reports;

The activities used to manage in-house bank accounts include
managing in-house bank accounts for subsidiaries; managing and
facilitating intercompany borrowing transactions; managing
centralized outgoing payments on behalf of subsidiaries; managing
central incoming payments on behalf of subsidiaries; managing
internal payments and netting transactions; calculating interest and
fees for in-house bank accounts; and providing account statements
for in-house bank accounts.
This process involves managing financial intermediary relationships;
managing liquidity and issuer exposure; processing and overseeing
debts and investments; making foreign currency transactions; and
producing debt and investment accounting transaction reports.
This process includes managing interest rate, foreign exchange, and
exposure risks; developing and executing hedging transactions;
evaluating and refining hedging positions; producing hedge
accounting transactions and reports; and monitoring credit.
The "manage internal controls" process group consists of operating
controls, monitoring compliance with internal controls policies and
procedures, and reporting on internal controls compliance. Internal
controls do NOT include external audit activities.

This process incorporates the planning, management, operation, and


monitoring of internal control mechanisms, policies, and procedures.
It includes designing and implementing control activities; monitoring
control effectiveness; remediating control deficiencies; creating
compliance functions; operating compliance functions; and
implementing and maintaining technologies and tools to enable the
controls-related activities.

This process includes reporting to external auditors, regulators,
shareholders, debt holders, securities exchanges, business partners,
internal management, and any other bona fide third parties.
The "manage taxes" process group includes the processes associated
with estimating an organizations periodic tax liabilities and ensuring
that appropriate taxing authorities receive tax return filings and
payments when due.
This process includes setting targets for periodic tax liabilities and
assessing the tax impact of various activities, such as the acquisition
or disposal of fixed assets or a deliberate change in employee
population.
This is the process of accounting for taxes collected or paid.
The "manage international funds/consolidation" process is the
process of managing cash collections and disbursements made by
operating units across the enterprise and, when appropriate,
transferring cash from those units to parent level bank accounts
managed by the organizations treasury team.
This is the process of forecasting and monitoring changes in foreign
currency value or interest rates around the world.
This is the process of converting cash from one currency to another in
the course of conducting cross-border trade or investment.
This process involves assessing an organizations exposures to
potential financial losses that could occur as a result of changes in
the relative value of currencies globally. Hedging currency exposures
refers to the process of forecasting the impacts of movements in
foreign currency values and entering into financial transactions
designed to offset or limit an organizations potential exposure to
loss.

This process involves making accounting entries to formally report
financial gains or losses experienced as a result of foreign exchange
activity.
Global trade services represents the collection of processes related to
cross-border collaboration and compliance with international
regulations including import/export controls, product classification,
duty calculation, relationships with customs, trade communications
and documentation, restitution, and international letters of credit.
This category has been expanded in the E&U model to include both
the original non-productive assets (such as property, buildings and
facilities) plus utility networks and major plant assets.

Previously these processes might have been covered under 9.1. But
9.1 was a poor representation of utility plant and network design and
construction processes. The new 9.2 process group for E&U provides
a more comprehensive and accurate description of this core utility
function, leaving 9.1 to describe processes applicable to property and
buildings (as was its original intent).

The process "dispose of productive and nonproductive assets"


involves planning how to discontinue the use of an asset at the end
of its life cycle. This process group includes developing an exit
strategy, performing a sale or trade of assets, and performing asset
abandonment.

The process group "manage enterprise risk, compliance, remediation,
and resiliency" is responsible for ensuring that an organization
effectively manages its risk. Process groups are aligned with
traditional risk management activities.
The "manage enterprise risk" process group addresses enterprise risk
management. Risk is the probability or threat of a negative
occurrence caused by potential events. Strategic, operational,
financial, and hazard risks categories are included in this group.
Manage enterprise risk includes establishing an enterprise risk
management framework and policies, overseeing enterprise risk
management activities across the organization, and coordinating
business unit/functional risk management processes. Based on the
enterprise-level risk management frameworks and policies, business
unit/functional risk management activities are executed and
managed. This process group also covers the management of
regulatory compliance to ensure the organization has the required
procedures in place and follows regulatory requirements.

The "manage compliance" process group is responsible for the


development of internal and external compliance activities.
Remediation efforts are those processes necessary to repair damage
to assets created by the occurrence of a risk, be it a new risk or a risk
under existing management.
Managing business resiliency and risk includes the processes required
to enable firms to rapidly adapt and respond to any internal or
external opportunity, demand, disruption, or threat; continue
operations without significant impact to the business; and develop a
more dynamic, strategic, and integrated approach to managing
compliance obligations.

External relationships are those relationships with stakeholders of the
entity, including investors, government and industry, the board of
directors, and the general public. This is not related to customer
management.
Strong government and industry relationships are essential to the
longevity of any company. This process group is responsible for
managing government relations, trade and industry group
relationships, and lobbying activities.
The "manage relations with board of directors" process group
encompasses the processes required to select, appoint, govern, and
communicate with the organizations board of directors while
complying with the organizations bylaws. These processes include
"report results" and "report audit findings."
"Manage legal and ethical issues" includes a variety of processes that
address the legal and moral framework of the organization and policy
development and enforcement.

"Manage public relations" includes processes related to the flow of


information from an organization to the public. It includes the
processes "manage community relations, "manage media relations,"
"promote political stability," "create press releases," and "issue press
releases." Public relations processes influence the public view of an
organization and its products or services. These programs may
include but are not limited to: corporate social responsibility (CSR)
programs, corporate giving, volunteerism, and community
partnerships. These programs may use a variety of avenues including
media outlets, personalities, social resources, networks, or lobbying.

Business capabilities are those activities performed by an
organization that are fundamental to the successful operation of the
organization, even across functions in a business. Capabilities defined
in the PCF include business process management; portfolio, program,
and project management; quality management; change
management; benchmarking; environmental health and safety
management; and knowledge management.
The "manage portfolio, program, and project" process group focuses
on identifying projects and initiatives; initiating, executing, and
closing projects; monitoring the overall project performance and
status; and making projects visible to organizational decisionmakers.
The "manage quality" process group creates a quality strategy, plans
and supports the staff that oversee quality work force, and conducts
quality assessments.
The purpose of the Establish Quality Requirements is to define a
specific plan for quality within the execution of work. This requires a
complete understanding (e.g., an inventory) of all stakeholder
requirements (e.g., product, service, or process) and an associated
set of critical-to-quality characteristics (CtQCs) that can be measured
for each of these requirementto prove the requirements are met.
These CtQCs are used to evaluate the current capabilities of the
organization to meet the requirements and identify any potential
gaps that may lead to a nonconformance prior to the execution of
work. A determination is made to mitigate the gap with preventive
activities or deemed an acceptable risk. As an output, the plan for
quality provides documentation about how Quality will be ensured
(e.g., preventive, control, assurance) and all actions that will be taken
if a nonconformance occurs.

Copyright 2015 APQC and IBM

243 of 733

Definition
All stakeholder requirements that describe the characteristics of a
product, service, or process must be documented and gathered, in an
accessible format, in preparation for establishing quality
requirements. The actual establishment of these requirements is not
within the scope of the EQ Framework, but is a critical input used
throughout planning for Quality. Stakeholders, in this instance,
include any internal or external party (e.g., customers, government
agencies, industry standards, enterprise policies, business or
functional performance targets) that have expressed a requirement
(often described as critical-to-customer (CtC) characteristics). CtQCs
are measurable elements of the process, product, or service whose
performance standards or specifications must be met to satisfy the
established requirement. Each stakeholder requirement must have an
associated CtQCs, unless the requirement itself fully defines all
elements that must exist. The CtQCs must be documented and
aligned to the specific requirement being fulfilled.

Analysis is conducted to assess the current state of the processes to


achieve the CtQCs. This analysis must include, but is not limited to,
all required activities established in the organization's Risk
Management standards. All identified gaps are documented and a
determination is made as to whether the gap will be mitigated
through preventive Quality activities or deemed as acceptable risk.
The goal of any preventive quality activities is to create provisions to
prevent, control, or reduce the risk of not meeting the CtQCs. In
addition, any standard methodology that will be used to design or
conduct preventive Quality activities are defined and documented.

Copyright 2015 APQC and IBM

244 of 733

Definition
The purpose of quality assurance and control design is to ensure all
processes can create products or services that meet the CtQCs, by
minimizing defects from occurring (or meeting the specified
tolerances for performance). For example, the implementation,
alignment, and adherence of work activities to the EQ Framework is
considered a quality assurance activity. In planning Quality assurance
and activities, the concepts of fit for purpose (does the product or
service meet the intended purpose) and right the first time
(elimination of mistakes, errors, or defects) must be considered.
A plan for quality defines how the CTQ characteristics will be
achieved, controlled, assured and managed throughout the entire
lifecycle of a product or service. The definition of this may be a
separate quality plan or can be the inclusion/alignment of the EQ
Framework in existing plans. At a minimum, all plans for quality must
include the following: requirements, CtQCs, a preventive quality
assessment, description of how the product or service is going to be
verified, criteria against which the verification is to be assessed, how
any nonconformance to those requirements will be managed, and the
records that will be kept to demonstrate conformity.

Evaluation compares the work outcomes with respect to quality


characteristics against the intended results as designed. It serves as
a check for: Initiating non-conformance management
Identifying long-term root cause analyses Providing test and
compliance data for future analyses Requirements may include both
in-process or output standards in addition to customer outcome
standards. In particular, key process indicators (KPIs) and critical to
quality (CTQ) characteristics must be used as the basis for any
evaluation and test methodology.

Definition
The purpose of recording results is to provide documented evidence
for (minimally): Audit requirements by external parties Nonconformance management Management reporting requirements
Trend analysis and quality improvement Results should be
maintained electronically, in corporate standard format(s), and
owned by a designated function or role. Access to results should be
provided on an as needed basis to appropriate stakeholders with
appropriate levels of editing rights.

The purpose of determining sample significance includes:


Determining whether or not the sample is representative of the larger
output or outcome Determining if the sample meets or does not
meet the requirements Identifying the conditions for acceptance,
rejection, remediation, and prevention For each key process indicator
(KPI), CtQCs, or other dimension assessed, significance is assigned
individually.
Summarizing results of the test(s)/audit(s) provides insights and
indicators derived from the raw data. It serves as a basis for
informing post-assessment actions by providing information
separating significant from insignificant results. Summaries may be
shown in various forms, including charts, tables, statistical test
results, or written findings and conclusions.
(input into non-conformance or drive improvement)

Definition
This process includes the effort to analyze nonconformance events
and determine the need for corrective and/or preventative action(s).
The level of analysis may include root cause, risk exposure and other
evaluations that will be necessary to properly review and
approve/reject subsequent actions. Recommended actions may
include corrective, preventative or no action based upon the impact
and likelihood of reoccurrence. Approval will be based upon
cost/benefit, risk exposure and other pertinent factors. Determination
of not only what action(s) but also timing and assignment of
responsibility will occur. If correct/preventive actions are needed, this
will trigger the Preventive Action process.

The "manage change" process group includes all processes involved


in implementing and facilitating major changes throughout an
organization or in a selected unit, department, division, etc. The
needed changes are typically identified in process groups "create and
manage organizational performance strategy," "benchmark
performance," or "manage strategic initiatives." "Manage change"
deals with the activities necessary to plan, develop, implement, and
monitor those changes. These are often project related processes for
activities that may have a set start and end date. However, activities
in the process "sustain improvement" may continue periodically well
into the future. In some organizations, monitoring and sustaining
improvement takes place within the other process categories specific
to the area of the business where the change occurred, and those
organizations track change-related processes in those appropriate
categories.

Definition
The Plan for change process involves all processes, from selecting the
methodology for implementation to identifying stakeholders,
resources, and preliminary measures. It also includes the
identification of any barriers to the change and the formation of the
team who will implement the change. Although the change
methodology is selected in this process, the change itself is not
extensively designed until process 12.4.2 Design the change. 12.4.1
is a planning and foundation laying process.
During the Design the change process, the change team aligns the
change with other activities already in place or planned for the
organization. It develops specific training and implementation plans,
including communication schedules, new role assignments, and
budgets.
In the Implement change process, organizations embed the new
processes, systems, or other changes into the business. During this
process, training is administered; stakeholders are consulted; and
new documents, policies, processes, and technologies go into effect.
Processes to continuously measure the change also begin, but
measurement activities are typically tracked within the processes
under process group 12.1 Create and manage organizational
performance strategy.
The Sustain improvement process encompasses the tracking of
changes made to the business and the general monitoring and
maintenance of performance related to the change. This process
includes post improvement project activities, like debriefings where
lessons learned during the change are shared and recorded. These
processes may be revisited regularly to monitor performance, but
these regular processes may eventually be tracked as part of
continuous organizational processes under process group 12.1 Create
and manage organizational performance strategy.

Definition
The "develop and manage enterprise-wide knowledge management
(KM) capability" process group comprises processes associated with
knowledge flow within an organization (e.g., create, identify, collect,
review, share, access, and use knowledge). At its heart, knowledge is
information in action. Knowledge management (KM) is a systematic
process that enables information and knowledge to grow, flow, and
create value. The KM discipline is about connecting people to the
information and expertise they need to achieve business results.
Various approaches can be used to support this goal, including
content management, communities of practice, transfer of best
practices, lessons learned, expertise location, virtual collaboration,
and social computing. The specific KM approaches that an
organization pursues are determined by the business problems it
wants to address. For example, if an organization is seeing similar
mistakes repeated across business units, it may implement a lessons
learned process so that employees can learn what has and hasnt
worked in other parts of the business. Similarly, an organization that
is concerned about knowledge loss due to retirement may consider
interviewing senior level employees who are nearing retirement and
making their expertise accessible through documents or videos.
Although technology plays a role in KM, it is critical to implement
technology as part of a larger, systematic change initiative. The
introduction of new tools will not change behavior unless people
understand when, how, and why to share knowledge and are
incentivized to do so.

Definition
The Develop KM strategy process includes activities related to
establishing an enterprise KM program. A KM program is an
organization wide effort to standardize and excel in KM. The first set
of activities relates to logistics such as governance, roles, and
funding. An organization with a clear business case for KM is in a
better position to select an appropriate governance model. For
example, a program focused on expertise location might need ties to
the HR function, whereas a program focused on content management
might be better housed in the IT function. Funding is also impacted
by the business case, but most organizations use a combination of
corporate and business unit funding for KM. The second set of
activities relates to linking KM to business objectives and managing
KM related change. Again, the specific tactics involved will depend on
the business problems that KM is intended to solve, as well as the
current culture and its receptiveness to KM. Note that processes
12.3.1 and 12.3.4 both contain activities related to technology needs,
training, communication, and change management. The difference is
that the activities in the Develop KM strategy process relate to the
KM program as a whole, as opposed to specific KM approaches.

Before improving how it manages knowledge, an organization must


evaluate its current KM processes and practices. The Assess
knowledge management capabilities process includes activities for
determining exactly where an organization stands on the KM learning
curve, pinpointing gaps, and identifying KM approaches and tactics
that will have meaningful impact on strategic objectives. For
organizations that struggle with this process, frameworks like APQCs
KM Capability Assessment Tool provide standard structures for
measuring KM maturity and identifying performance gaps.

The process "measure and benchmark" encompasses the processes
required to develop a strategy for monitoring and improving the
performance of an organization including creating and managing
organizational performance strategy and benchmarking performance.

Copyright 2015 APQC and IBM

251 of 733

Definition
This process group encompasses those processes required to develop
a strategy for monitoring and improving the performance of an
organization. Although this process group is related to process group
1.2 Develop business strategy, 12.1 Create and manage
organizational performance strategy focuses more on internal
performance rather than external or competitive positions in the
marketplace. Process group 12.1 centers around measurement,
including the creation of measures and the act of measuring itself.
This is the measurement of internal performance within a strategy for
tracking, streamlining, and improving it. Activity 1.2.2.6 Develop
lean/continuous improvement strategy also relates to these activities
but is more typically used when executives are developing a business
strategy to enhance external market position. 1.2.2.6 focuses on
high-level strategy development, whereas 12.1 encompasses the
tactical measurement of internal processes and work force
improvement. The measurement processes in process group 12.1
should align with human capital management processes such as
6.6.5 Develop and Manage Employee Metrics. Process 6.6.5 and other
human capital management processes refer to the overall
management of employee information and the use of metrics to
guide employee development and rewards. Process group 12.1 refers
to the collection of the data and the strategies employed to gather it.
It does not refer to the day-to-day activities of human capital
managers, but instead to the development of strategies and systems
that allow human resources to more effectively manage personnel.
Process group 12.1 also includes the measurement of machines,
entire processes, facility and environmental efficiency, overall cost
effectiveness, and other activities not directly related to human
performance.

Definition
The Create enterprise measurement systems model process refers to
the development of a high-level measurement system to track
performance across the enterprise or in specific functions or business
units. In this process, organizations determine which processes to
measure, which measures to use, how often to measure, and what
the target measurement results should be. Decision makers usually
also define which actions will be taken given certain measurement
results. This process does not refer to actual measurement activities
or consequential actions; it focuses on strategic decisions about how
to best measure an organization. Because measures should be
revisited and realigned with organizational goals as time passes, this
process should repeat on a regular basis as a review.

The Measure process productivity process includes all activities


associated with measuring how productive processes are. This
process will vary depending on which activities and business
components are being measured. Unlike process 12.1.4 Measure staff
efficiency, process 12.1.2 measures outcomes (e.g., how much of X is
produced within X time period). A manufacturing process may be
measured according to number of units produced per FTE or number
of high-quality units produced. A marketing department might be
measured on the completion of a target number of campaigns per
marketing FTE. Some organizations choose to include measurement
analysis in this process. Actions taken based on the measurement
typically exist as activities within process group 12.4 Manage change
or within the other function-specific categories. (For example, if
measures indicate that inventory levels need to be better optimized,
the resulting actions would take place under the process 4.5.3
Operate warehousing.)

The Measure cost effectiveness process covers all activities
associated with measuring the cost effectiveness of a process. This
process will vary depending on which activities and business
components are being measured. An organization may want to track
its return on investing in activities like marketing campaigns, new
equipment, and process redefinition. It may also measure cost per
employee or cost per cycle for a given process, function, or business
unit. Some organizations choose to include measurement analysis in
this process. Actions taken based on the measurement typically exist
as activities within process group 12.4 Manage change or within the
other function-specific categories. (For example, if measures indicate
that inventory levels need to be better optimized to reduce costs, the
resulting actions would take place under the process 4.5.3 Operate
warehousing.)

Definition
The Measure staff efficiency process covers all activities associated
with measuring how efficiently employees perform. This process will
vary depending on which activities and business components are
being measured. This process often focuses on measuring activities
performed manually or compares manual completion with completion
aided by automation. These measures can help determine where
automation could increase efficiency or identify differences between
the efficiency of one employee or group and another. This process
could also include an evaluation of the quality of work, which could
potentially reduce or increase the amount of automation or review
included in the process. This process, unlike process 12.1.2 Measure
process productivity, does not measure outputs of a process. Instead,
it measures the agility and speed of the activities that lead to a final
product. Some organizations choose to include measurement analysis
in this process. Actions taken based on the measurement typically
exist as activities within process group 12.4 Manage change or within
the other function-specific categories. (For example, if measures
indicate that the invoicing cycle is too long or has redundant steps,
the resulting actions would take place within process 8.2.2 Invoice
customer.)

255 of 733

Definition
The Measure cycle time process includes all activities associated with
measuring how long it takes to perform certain processes or cycles of
action. This process will vary depending on which activities and
business components are being measured. Organizations typically
include the measurement of cycles like customer response time,
invoicing, or order to cash under this process. Some organizations
choose to include measurement analysis in this process. Actions
taken based on the measurement typically exist as activities within
process group 12.4 Manage change or within the other function
specific categories. (For example, if measures indicate that the
invoicing cycle is taking too long or is inconsistent, the resulting
actions would take place within process 8.2.2 Invoice customer.)

Process group 12.2 Benchmark performance encompasses all the


processes required to compare organizational performance internally
or externally with other organizations. Some organizations run
benchmarking through a central group or department. In other cases,
benchmarking takes place as part of a specific project or within a
particular department that sees the need to compare its performance
with other departments or organizations
In order to benchmark, an organization must first examine its own
performance. The Conduct performance assessments process
includes activities related to measuring, researching, and recording
the performance of people, processes, mechanisms, or other areas of
the business that the organization wants to benchmark or track.
Usually, these assessments are performed on a regular cycle to
monitor long-term performance. But this can also refer to an in-depth
pre benchmarking exercise to look at specific process that might not
be regularly assessed.

Copyright 2015 APQC and IBM

256 of 733

Definition
The Develop benchmarking capabilities process refers to tasks
associated with increasing an organizations ability to compare its
performance internally or externally or maintain benchmarking
relationships with other organizations. This can include training staff
in benchmarking, developing technological solutions or other
materials to aid benchmarking efforts, or consulting with external
entities to gain knowledge or tools to help benchmark.
In the Conduct gap analysis to understand need for change and
degree needed process, the organization examines its performance
against that of the benchmarked organizations or entities. It notes
the differences between organizational performance and that of the
benchmarked standard and studies those differences to identify what
specific changes need to be made. The organization determines how
much its performance needs to change to meet expectations and
help the organization reach its strategic goals.
The process group "manage environmental health and safety"
concerns the management of environmental, health, and safety risks,
including: environment, occupational health and safety, community
health and safety, and construction/decommissioning. This process
group includes determining the environmental, health, and safety
impacts of an organizations products, services, and operations;
developing and executing business unit/functional EHS programs; and
training and educating employees. It also covers monitoring and
managing business unit/functional EHS management programs,
ensuring compliance with regulations, and managing remediation
efforts.
