Abstract

The scenario of great competition among companies has awakened the constant need to optimize the way their internal processes are conducted. The continuous process improvement cannot be achieved in any way without strategic alignment, without digital transformation and without the analysis of the human resources responsible for carrying out the activities. The three dimensions of management mentioned above need to be synchronized for the perfect functioning of the organizational gears. This article presents a Business Transformation Methodology that integrates the business process management (BPM) with the strategic objectives, digital transformation and people management to improve the operational efficiency of the business. In addition, an in vivo experiment on the implementation of the methodology using agile project management in a food distributor company is also described.

The results of the experiment showed significant improvements in the goods receipt process at a food distributor company, reducing the total execution time of the process, reducing the number of errors and acquiring more control of the critical activities of the company.
