EEC: Business Case development process

Ebex Essel Excellence Centre

• Candidacy of entities, functions, processes and sub-processes were determined during assessment phase

• Volume analysis, FTE analysis, current baselines were determined • Correlation between business volume and transaction volume was

established • Future FTE projections were established based on correlation and

future business growth projections • Efficiency gains from centralisation, standardization, simplification

and automation were factored into the FTE projections • Costs for 728 FTE were calculated and added to infrastructure costs

(technology, physical infrastructure) for two locations • Location - Noida was selected from above analysis as EEC hub

location • NPV analysis was then carried out and a three year pay-back period

was established

Page 11: Excellence through BPM (our experience)...2016/09/09  · Excellence through BPM (our experience) Presentation at 4th National SS & BPM Conclave 2014 New Delhi Nov 14th, 2014 I n d

Certain benefits were deliberately kept out of the business case for reasons of simplicity

Ebex Essel Excellence Centre

• Savings from manpower rationalisation in year 1 • Common procurement efficiency • Opportunity cost of freed up office space at businesses • Business process standardization & efficiency can lead to

faster saving and Business Growth

Rationale for process split

• Decision making steps in a Process are retained with organisation

• Process compliance requiring business interactions was moved to EEC spoke (business interface office)

• Process compliance not requiring business interaction was enabled on workflow are moved to central / hub location at EEC

Process Transition Approach adopted

Ebex Essel Excellence Centre

• All processes are moved to Ebex at the same time

• Good approach for simple, small volume process (groups of processes) migration

• Processes are moved to the Ebex one by one, over a period of time

• Limited risk of business & process destabilization

• All processes for a particular entity to be moved at a time, followed by the next entity

•Relocation costs and severance costs assumed to be zero

Business Case Comparison between As-Is and To-Be costs (2 of 2)

Facility costs

•As-Is - Facility costs are based on a weighted average of office rental rates for the existing office locations

•To-Be - costs are based on rentals: •Noida = INR XX/sq. ft. •Per user office space requirement = YY sq. Ft.

•To-Be - 6 months rent as security deposit (refundable, but included as part of one time cost)

Technology costs

•To-Be - Document Management System + Workflow (Software + Hardware)

•To-Be - Technology Implementation cost

•To-Be - The IT operating expenditure are based on •Per user cost (Workstation + Desktop s/w + AMC ) X No. Of users •SAP license cost per user X No. Of acquired Licenses

With optimization on the To-Be Salary Costs, the break even period came out to be somewhere under3 operational years with an NPV of about a couple of hundred millions for profits from next 5 operational years

Risks Identified

Work stream Affected

Risk Description and Cause

Impact Mitigation plan

Process Design Overlap of process workshops with period-end process cut-offs

Medium Initiated process design while planning for the process workshops. Conduct first round of workshop for payables and common procurement by April 4

th

Change management

Potential disruption of F&A and HR activities immediately after the relocation of the teams to the new office

Medium Measures including: Daily transfer of documents, frequent shuttles between the locations, HoD cabins at the new locations

Change management

Employee/HoD concerns about transition of people may lead to reduced cooperation from the Mumbai entities

Medium Higher level of engagement with Mumbai HoDs. More active role for HR.

Process Design Lack of consensus among the entity CFOs on the split of processes between SEC and Retained function

High Review the reasons for such differences and address these as required. Seek Leadership Board (Steering Committee) support to resolve pending issues.

Change management

Delays in arriving at a final list of employees to be transitioned to the SEC / new office in Noida

Medium Initiate discussions with CFOs on specific resources required for the SEC. Introduction to SEC concept for all relevant staff.

Change management

There has been no formal communication to all affected employees (SEC & Retained)

High Communication and change management workshops for all employees by level and location covering employee concerns about job security, marketability, career enhancement, working environment, L&D opportunities, brand association, thrust on excellence
