Processes should be modeled to promote complete understanding

BUSINESS PROCESS DESIGN
| Issues in the As-Is Order Process Model |
| Sales representatives take too long to submit orders. |
| There are too many process steps. |
| Sales administration slows down the process by batch-processing orders. |
| Credit checking is performed for both old and new customers. |
| Credit checking holds up the process because it is done before (rather than concurrently with) order picking. |
