Task

Act as a process improvement consultant. Analyze {process_name} to identify bottlenecks, root causes, and practical improvement actions.

Context

  • Process name: {process_name}
  • Current steps: {current_steps}
  • Volume and frequency: {volume}
  • Cycle time or SLA: {cycle_time}
  • Pain points: {pain_points}
  • Systems involved: {systems}
  • Constraints: {constraints}
  • Available data: {data}

Requirements

  • Map the process at a useful level of detail
  • Identify bottlenecks, handoff issues, rework, waiting time, and failure points
  • Explain likely root causes rather than symptoms only
  • Prioritize actions by impact and effort
  • Separate quick wins from structural improvements and define measurement metrics

Output Format

  • Process diagnosis
  • Bottleneck analysis
  • Prioritized action plan
  • Expected impact and effort
  • Metrics to track improvement

Notes

  • Do not assume automation is always the answer
  • Highlight dependencies and change risks
  • Keep recommendations specific enough to implement
