Other business processes and sub-processes were created in order to improve IKEA’s customers pulling business process. This business process improvement helped eliminate confusion and dissatisfaction to the customers that were caused by retrieving heavy items from the warehouse, pulling the wrong items from the shelves, or simply not being able to find items. This business process improvement also increased customers’ shopping experience and ensures that they will remain loyal customers in the future.
In order to improve customers’ pulling experience, three other processes were implemented. These were hire additional staff, implement new software with price gun, and install automatic shelves. In addition, four sub-processes were developed with the implementation of the new software with price guns process. These were purchase and install software, purchase price guns, training for employees, and customers using price guns.
The hiring of additional staff provides help to customers with pulling their orders. This process diagram shows the standard business process of hiring employees. After this business process initial implementation, it will continue to be a requirement as long as there is an open position to be filled.
This process diagram shows the business process for installing automatic shelves. These shelves will allow items to move from the back of the shelves to the front when an item was removed and helps eliminate customers having to struggle to get items that were out of their reach.
This process diagram shows the customers using price guns process business. This process was implemented after software and price guns are purchased and implemented and employees training was completed.
The newly implement activities are based on customer needs and the idea of developing customer loyalty. The purpose of our newly implemented activities are to fully engage the customer with IKEA. This means creating activities that will increase the customer touch point and enhance the customer’s experience. These attributes are critical success factors in developing a sustainable customer retention strategy.
This diagram illustrates how effective and purposeful the newly implemented activities are in addressing customer retention and developing customer loyalty. As said before, these are all critical touch points that keep the customer engaged with IKEA. (READ THE DIAGRAM)
The red graphics in the diagram illustrate the activities and the relationships they create with pre-established activities. Each new activity makes next activity more purposeful. As mentioned before, these activities provide transparency to the process and exude a customer-oriented perspective. We will need to really distinguish the roles of the “order pulling specialists” and the employees so that there is more of a linear relationship from customer to employee that will maximize the effectiveness of the software and product scanner can be maximized.
The complexity of the process changes will be dependant on the variables that affect each of the three main process changes. By changing the new software, we will encounter variables that will determine the initial effectiveness. Of the two main variables we can control the amount of training an employee gets, however, we will need to consider that hours on the sales floor will be cut when training the employees on the new system. Another variable that could affect the performance of the software will be the software itself. We will need to take into consideration that we may run into snags or glitches with the initial software. By hiring additional staff, we have a new set of variables. We will not be able to reach our desired amount of employees if there is not enough applicants. We will also want to hire quality employees, the issue of increasing customer satisfaction if we cannot hire quality staff and train them adequately.
The variables that affect the complexity of installing automatic shelves are different in that the unknown variables will play less of a role. The complexity of installing a new shelving system lies in the scope of the project. IKEA being an international company with 267 stores in 25 countries will make the project more complex.
The rewards of incentives will help with the hard working employees, not to let them only work hard for the rewards but letting them know that you are willing to go above and beyond then they will give you that in return, Process of evaluation is easy to determine with the employee problems and also the customer retention.
Some problems accrue when you are in a hurry or cant wait to go home, but by understand that problems accrue when a company or and employee is sloppy then you can make things better by knowing what is expected of you.
The charts that is located above shows the steps that is needed to care out a good process plan when it comes to problem solving. If you are willing to stick to a plan and solve the problem step by step you are more likely to success and show that any problem can be solved.
