When managing your company, have you noticed that a certain team or employees achieve better results when they focus on performing the same processes?
The lack of standardization, on the other hand, causes performance to vary. If the way how a set of activities should be carried out is not clearly described, it’s up to each team or employee to find out to perform each task.
Regardless of the company’s size or sector, efficiency and consistency are essential for business growth and development.
In this sense, process standardization can be considered the key that unlocks the way to operational efficiency, driving innovation, and ensuring product and service quality.

Much more than simplifying operations, process standardization increases adaptability and enhances sustainable business growth. All of this is achieved through proper resource utilization, workflow agility, and results maximization.
In this ebook, we will explain in detail everything related to process standardization, its benefits, and best implementation practices.
By the end of it, you will understand how companies gain competitive advantages, increased profitability, and strengthen their brand in the market when they adopt processes standardization.

What is process standardization?
Process standardization is nothing more than organizing and formalizing, through documentation, a standard way for all activity flows to be carried out in the same manner.
The objective of process standardization is for all employees to follow the same model for task execution. In other words, every time a certain activity flow occurs, it will follow the same guidelines.
In general, by creating a standard model, the involved and related parties have knowledge of the steps to be followed, their responsible parties, executors, which tools should be used, what is expected as a result, and the deadlines for each step’s execution.
This formalization requires management to understand their processes’ objectives, their level of complexity, and their importance. Even if there are several types of activities necessary for a business to run properly, those directly related to the core business and that generate value for the customer deserve greater attention and focus.
An important aspect provided by process standardization is enabling performance data analysis and compliance assurance. By having a manual about the process, it is more straightforward to check if the practice aligns with the established planning.
It is also easier to identify similar problems or potential risks. And finding a unique and ideal solution that should be implemented throughout the organization as well.
Since process standardization requires an in-depth analysis of the company’s routine workflow, it is common for redundant activities to be eliminated and performance to increase. The sequence of activities needs to be optimized to maximize results.
Adopting technological solutions, such as end-to-end management tools, increases company efficiency, provides accessible management, and operations control.
