• 14 min read

Міжгалузевий Process Classification Framework® (PCF) - це таксономія міжфункціональних бізнес-процесів, призначена для об'єктивного порівняння організаційної ефективності всередині організацій та між ними.

Process Classification Framework® (PCF) була розроблена APQC та її компаніями-членами як відкритий стандарт для сприяння вдосконаленню за допомогою управління процесами та бенчмаркінгу, незалежно від галузі, розміру чи місцезнаходження.

Process Classification Framework® (PCF) організовує операційні та управлінські процеси в 13 категорій на рівні підприємства, включаючи групи процесів і понад 1 000 процесів та пов'язаних з ними видів діяльності. PCF, пов'язані з ним заходи та визначення доступні для безкоштовного завантаження на сайті www.apqc.org/pcf

Фреймворк для вдосконалення процесів (The Framework For Process Improvement)

Досвід показує, що потенціал бенчмаркінгу для значного поліпшення полягає в проведенні нестандартних порівнянь і пошуку інформації, яку зазвичай не можна знайти в рамках внутрішньогалузевих парадигм.

Щоб уможливити цей корисний бенчмаркінг, APQC Process Classification Framework (PCF)® слугує високорівневою, галузево нейтральною моделлю процесів підприємства, яка дозволяє організаціям бачити свої бізнес-процеси з міжгалузевої точки зору.

Ця міжгалузева структура вже понад 20 років творчо використовується тисячами організацій по всьому світу. PCF є основою для бази даних APQC Open Standards Benchmarking® (OSB) та роботи консультативної ради, що складається з лідерів світової індустрії. Кожна версія PCF буде продовжувати вдосконалюватися в міру того, як база даних OSB буде розвивати визначення, процеси та заходи.

Історія Process Classification Framework® (PCF)

Міжгалузева система класифікації процесів (Process Classification Framework®) спочатку була задумана як таксономія бізнес-процесів і спільна мова, за допомогою якої організації-члени APQC могли б порівнювати свої процеси з контрольними показниками.

Початковий проект включав APQC та понад 80 організацій, які були зацікавлені в просуванні використання бенчмаркінгу в Сполучених Штатах та в усьому світі. З моменту свого створення в 1992 році, PCF зазнав оновлень більшої частини свого контенту. Ці оновлення підтримують структуру в актуальному стані з урахуванням того, як організації ведуть бізнес у всьому світі. У 2014 році APQC працювала над вдосконаленням міжгалузевої PCF і оновила низку галузевих рамок класифікації процесів.
