Workflow is yet another buzzword that has leaked into the sphere of our work environments and it is gaining more significance in our lives every day. But, just what is workflow we ask ourselves? Workflow is a word that describes tasks, steps, and tools involved in various business processes. The importance of workflow is that an efficient one can automate or streamline day-to-day tasks as much as possible. The reason is that this can eliminate or greatly decrease margin for error, increase productivity and decrease opportunity cost.
A workflow process can be created to handle something like a work order. A business has configured the system to route all new preventive maintenance work orders that are generated through the preventive maintenance work order into a workflow process. The first step the work order would go through would be evaluation, prioritizing, etc. The same goes for any other common business process that we encounter. They all must go through steps in order to achieve a desired output and the more standardized and automated the workflow process can be the quicker it will be completed.
