Years of experience and research has proven that 80% of mistakes are made during information hand-offs; the moment that process 1 (output) meets process 2 (input). This is the phase where the most communication errors arise. Miscommunication is often possible because there are no clear records which states who is responsible for what. The internal or external client-supplier agreement appear to be unclear. Expectations are not met, with disappointment and frustration as consequence, which will undermine performance.
If you use this knowledge to create a good process description and analyse these information hand-offs, you want the output of process 1 to match the input of process 2. Who makes, controls and receives it, and which elements are crucial for doing it right the first time?
