When Was The Last Time You Took ZUPCO Bus?
In most cities in Zimbabwe, buses are part of a mass transit system. Almost all main cities in Zimbabwe have a mass transit system—typically comprising of ZUPCO buses, taxis, and trains. In fact, this year, 2020, Zimbabwe due to COVID-19 has seen a remarkable improvement in the ZUPCO transport system! Did you know that?
What’s A System?
A system is a group or combination of things or parts forming a complex or unitary whole.Thus, ZUPCO mass transit is a good example of a system. It has a purpose—to efficiently move or transport you from one location, for example in Chitungwiza to another location, for example, Harare CBD.
And a system also creates value—such as providing a source of economical transportation and reducing pollution by reducing the number of vehicles on the road.
But if you do not have all the parts or some of the parts are not working correctly, a system can come to a standstill. Those moving parts are called processes.
What Is A Process?
Processes are all the related activities (parts) inside the system that work together to make it function. For a mass transit system, there’s a process for ticket sales, equipment maintenance process, vehicle and track repair process, a safety process and so on. |
| System vs Process: What’s The Difference? |
Processes are the sequence of activities intended to produce a particular result.
Processes span organizational boundaries, linking together people, information flows, and other resources to create and deliver value to your customers.
Your company has systems and processes.
A system is a methodical way that you provide specific goods or services to customers. Your system is the “what.” As in, what value do you provide the customer?
Likewise, your processes are the “how.” How do all the activities inside your company work together to provide that value?
Your systems and processes are the essential building blocks of your company. Every facet of your business–on the shop floor, in the warehouse, or in the office–is part of a system that can be managed or improved by applying correct principles.
