Process analysis one calls the systematic investigation of processes (lat. procedere = progress) into its individual parts, in order to recognize weak points and improvement potentials. (see generic term analysis)

The process analysis tries to make by dividing a procedure (see Top down method) in its single steps possible an error or inconsistencies possibly arisen in the total process visibly and for error corrections or improvements.

Thereby one can attain standardizations during standard processes and achieve a group-spreading synchronisation.

Particularly in the quality management it is indispensable to discover in the case of arising errors as fast as possible their cause (n) and introduce storage measures. This continuous improvement process (KVP) contributes to it, also with related processes fast and effizent to intervene, since subprocesses can be similar or alike.

Process orientated thinking and acting is an important component of the modern free-market economy. Only so one can act within a short period flexibly instead of only to react (antibugging before error correction). Problems can be solved by foresighted acting usually in the apron.

The specification of processes is here just as important as its constant care and control. Beyond that also finding key indicators is facilitated by the mistake of processes with information, which permit an evaluating of a process.

Execution of the process analysis. The process analysis is accomplished in two steps:

1. Actual state inventory of the existing organization

• For this organization and working documents are evaluated and if necessary
• Coworker interview accomplished.

2. Actual state analysis process-following methods are for example used:

• Benchmarking
• Weakpoint analysis
• Workflowanalyse
• Check list technology
• Reference analysis
• Procedure chain analysis
