Prozesse bilden den Puls des Unternehmens. Sie fließen durch das Unternehmen und schaffen die Wertschöpfung bzw. sorgen als Unterstützungsprozesse dafür, dass die wertschöpfenden Prozesse funktionieren. ​Ein Prozess lebt von dem Zusammenwirken von Menschen, Maschinen und Materialien. Nur wenn dieses Zusammenwirken durch einen strukturierten Umgang mit den Prozessen in Form eines Prozessmanagement harmoniert, kann das Unternehmen einen Nutzen ziehen.  Ein Prozessmanagement identifiziert, analysiert, gestaltet, dokumentiert, implementiert und verbessert die internen Prozesse unter aktiver Beteiligung der im Prozess handelnden Mitarbeiter. Mit Hilfe verschiedenster Methoden (u.a. Wertstromanalyse, Tätigkeitsanalyse, Informationsflussanalyse) sowie dem Prozesswissen der beteiligten Mitarbeiter kann nachhaltiger Nutzen für das Unternehmen erzielt werden. ​
