Canada-based Peterborough County’s implementation of PRIME BPM software to drive its continuous improvement journey has been awarded at the 49th Annual CAMA Conference, organised by the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators.
The County won the award in the Professional Development Category for its project titled ‘PRIME for LEAN – Developing A Culture of Continuous Improvement.’
Peterborough County is the first municipality in North America to put into practice its Lean efforts through the acquisition of PRIME Business Process Management software. An end-to-end BPM software, PRIME BPM enables organisations to map, analyse, improve and monitor the processes to remove waste and inefficiencies.
To date, 24 process improvement projects have been completed and the County has benefitted from data and measurable results to support its business strategy and service delivery. Optimised processes have reduced wait time and significantly enhanced citizen services.
With the adoption of PRIME BPM software, which has an in-built methodology combining the power of Lean, Six Sigma and Value Stream Mapping, Peterborough County has broken down silos, promoted cross-departmental collaboration and ensured operational savings.
The County’s 2023 budget is reaping the rewards from this journey supported through service delivery reviews resulting in a reallocation of $850k in operational savings.
The documented processes have also enabled the County to ensure effective knowledge and resource management. Encouraged by these early results, Peterborough County is committed to continue working towards developing a culture of continuous improvement.
“We are thrilled with the recognition, efficiency and transparency Peterborough County has gained with PRIME BPM software. We will continue to work collaboratively with them to help them address their pain points and transform municipal services,” commented Mark Khabe, Co-founder, PRIME BPM.
