PRACTICE LAB / INDIVIDUAL TASK

Find the process bottleneck

Map an AS-IS flow and choose a measurable improvement.

Intermediate20 minFictional scenario

The brief

Policy payments fail, then operations manually reopens the policy. Where do you investigate first?

What you know

Portal sends payment request; gateway returns a response; policy system updates status later. Failed payments have several different reason codes.

Your deliverables

  • AS-IS flow with handoffs
  • Two hypotheses
  • Evidence needed
  • TO-BE improvement and KPI

Compare with a reference approach

Separate gateway decline from internal policy-state rejection. Correlate transaction IDs, timestamps and state changes before proposing a retry. Define idempotent processing, reconciliation and a reduction in manual interventions as validation.
