Workflows
Definition:
The automation of a business process, in whole or part, during which documents,
information or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action, according
to a set of procedural rules
Examples:
⢠When you submit an insurance claim, you are initiating a workflow.
⢠When you check on the status of your loan application, you are asking for metadata
about a running workflow.
⢠When you give the final approval for a piece of web content to be published, it is
likely you are completing a workflow.

own production system. Over the following years, the benefits of their system resulted
in:
⢠Productivity increases between 300% to 400%.
⢠Labour productivity increased an average of 25% a year.
⢠Defect rates reduced from over 2000 to less than 50 parts per million, and in many
to less than 10 parts per million.
⢠Cost of quality cut by over 60%.
⢠Work-in-process inventory cut by more than 80%.
