To be effective, business processes must be formally designed, structured, documented, and communicated.  It is important to capture as much detail as possible in the process description verbally, graphically, or using both methods.  By doing so, all individuals and groups using the process will be able to more easily achieve the desired results.  While business process documents may contain many different sections, there are some sections common to all business documents.  This template is intended to provide an example of common and effective business document contents.\nThis Business Process Document has been developed for use in Acme Corporation’s Personnel Staffing efforts.  Historically, Acme Corporation has under-performed in fulfilling its staffing requirements due to inefficient practices and lack of a formal process.  Personnel Staffing has been identified as a key area of improvement by Acme Corporation’s executive leadership.  This process will allow Acme Corporation to more effectively identify and fill its staffing needs by implementing a repeatable and standardized personnel staffing process with participation from each division.\nExplanation of Business Process Document\nBusiness Processes are effective ways to improve business performance, increase workforce and resource efficiencies, and perform value-added functions to meet critical needs.  To be effective, a business process should also be easily integrated with other processes and the organizational structure.  As potentially useful and effective as business processes are, often times they’re poorly planned, implemented, or communicated.  In such cases, a process may result in confusion and create an even more ineffective environment than previously existed.  When planning, implementing, and communicating a new business process, it is important to provide structure, a formal process flow, process boundaries, inputs/outputs, and control points.  This will allow the organization to not only achieve improved performance, but to have a mechanism to continually improve the business process.\nProcess Purpose:  This section should provide a description of the purpose of the process.  This may include why and how the process will benefit the organization.\nProcess Scope:  This section should provide a description of what is included in the business process as well as what is not included or is out of scope for the process.\nProcess Input: All business processes have an input or a need to be fulfilled.  This need or input is what initiates the process to begin.  This section should identify the need or input required to initiate the process.\nProcess Boundaries: Process boundaries are a way of identifying where a process begins and where it ends.  For example, there may be a need or input that initiates a process but is not actually a part of the process.  The boundaries of the proces","cbCaibTmM1S22pH4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibTmM1S22pH4","docx",191683,8,"English","# Table of Contents\n## Introduction\n## Explanation of Business Process Document\n## Process Purpose\n## Process Scope\n## Process Input\n## Process Boundaries\n## Process Flow\n## Process Output\n## Exceptions to Normal Process Flow\n## Control Points and Measurements","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a Business Process Document?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a detailed description of a business process designed to meet an identified business need.
