Kasetsart University, Bangkok UNNExT Workshop on Promoting Cross-border Agricultural Trade for Sustainable Development Quality--Food Safety--Sustainability--Business Processes Markets November 2016 United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok

2 Objectives of this presentation To briefly introduce Business Process Analysis, a methodology for analyzing the as-is international supply chain processes, and proposing improvement recommendations [based on the UNNExT Business Process Analysis Guide to simplify trade procedures]. To discuss some BPA case studies for agriculture supply chains improvement. BPA guide and online course are available at unnext.unescap.org Page 2

3 Agenda 1. BPA for Analyzing and Proposing International Supply Chain Improvement 2. Introduction into Unified Modeling Language (UML) i.e. two types of diagrams: Use-Case Diagrams & Activity Diagrams 3. Three Phases of a BPA Project 4. Case Studies Page 3

4 What is a Business Process? A Business Process is a collection of related and structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product. Example Procedures of issuing Phytosanitary Certificates in Bangladesh Export procedures of garments from Dhaka, through port operations & customs clearance at Chittagong Port Import Customs clearance procedures at the border check point of Phuentsholing, Bhutan Import procedures and documentation of Lentils from Nepal, through Kakarvitta-Panitanki-Fulbari-Banglabandha borders, until the cargo arriving at Dhaka, Bangladesh. Page 4

5 What is a Business Process Analysis (BPA)? A modeling and analysis of business processes for capturing as-is (current) conditions and proposing better to-be (target) business processes For example, it may include... Documenting existing regulatory procedures in an agency Describing a standard procedure, e.g. a common case Identifying related quantitative indicators, e.g. number of steps Collecting information about time and cost at different steps Providing a specification for simplification or automation of the process (to be implemented in the future) Page 5

6 Applying BPA for International Supply Chain BPA can be used to analyse for The international supply chain of trade facilitation, or A subset of these supply chain procedures Buy-Ship-Pay Model Page 6

9 Why we should conduct a Business Process Analysis? Business Process Analysis is a practical study to understand attributes of business processes, and their relationships Who involved Procedures and Documents required Related Rules and Regulations Some quantitative indicators Page 9

10 What are the benefits of Business Process Analysis? Page 10

11 Why international supply chain procedures in some countries are more difficult, time consuming and expensive? Procedures and documents handling remain largely paper dependent. Missing and incorrect documentation slows progress through the supply chain Keeping documents & freight in sync is complex and costly Multiple parties capturing the same data is inefficient and error prone We acknowledge other factors that makes trade in developing countries more difficult, including infrastructure, lack of adequate laboratory facilities, corruption, land-locked, (but these are not the main scope of discussion in this workshop) Page 11

12 BPA to understand the current trade processes, and then propose improvement. BPA is the first technical step in preparing for trade facilitation measures including process simplification and automation. It provides Inventory of processes, documents, data, parties, rules & regulations Description of the processes Specifications for harmonizing data and development of electronic documents Specifications to develop software for the automation of procedures Business Models for the operation of Single Window environment A basis for maintenance and improvement Page 12

23 BPA should be conducted as a project [A BPA Project in Three Phases] I. Scope setting/planning Specify a scope of processes to be analyzed II. III. e.g. Phytosanitary Certificate issuance (export) procedures, or Phytosanitary Certificate import procedures at a particular sea port. Data collection and process documentation Define and document a sequence of steps in actual practices and their attributes Who involved (stakeholders/actors) Procedures and documents required (input to/output from) Related rules and regulation Process analysis Locate bottlenecks, examine what causes them, and develop measurable and quantitative process indicators (e.g. the number of steps, time and costs required to fulfill those processes) Recommendation development Determine how to eliminate each bottleneck and prioritize improvement actions Page 23

24 Three Phases of a BPA Project Phase I 1) Define a project scope 2) Develop a detailed plan and secure resources Project Sponsor Project Manager/ Project Leader Phase II 3) Acquire background information 4) Conduct interviews and document captured data Phase III 5) Analyze the as-is process and identify bottlenecks 6) Develop and propose recommendations Process Analysts Process Participants/ Business Domain Experts Page 24

25 Outputs of BPA Phase I Phase II Phase III Step Step 1: Define project scope Step 2: Develop a detailed plan and secure resources Step 3: Acquire background information Step4: Conduct interview and document captured data Step 5: Analyze the as-is processes and identify bottlenecks Step 6: Develop and propose recommendations Deliverable Use case diagram illustrating business domain, process areas, process participants, and key business processes Detailed project plan including an estimation of human resources required, schedules, and software supported tools A list of potential interviewees and their contact information A folder of background information about the business processes under the investigation A list of guiding questions for the interview A set of activity diagrams illustrating activities that come in a specific order and decision points, actors who perform those activities, defined inputs and outputs of each activity, criteria for entering and exiting the business process, relationships among actors, and information flow A set of business process descriptions that describes activity diagram and lists all related rules and regulations Activity diagram illustrating integrated processes in the business domain Time-Procedure chart displaying time required to complete each business process A set of observations of the as-is business processes that have the potential for improvement Final report with recommendations which may include diagrams of to-be business processes Page 25

26 Tips & Techniques for Process Analysis & Improvement Recommendation Identify any bottlenecks, redundancies, and non-value-added activities in procedural and documentary requirements Make those procedures & documentary requirements transparent and easy for stakeholders to access to Merge some procedures, and/or documents(forms) Eliminate redundant procedures and unnecessary documentary requirements Automate procedures and promote the sharing of trade and transport data among relevant stakeholders Modify related laws and regulations to facilitate the operation of the newly designed business processes Reform the regulatory-related organizational structures Page 26

34 A BPA Case Study II Cambodia BPA

35 Cambodia BPA (since 2010) The analysis of the Cambodia BPA was initiated by H.E. Dr. Hang Chuon Naron, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Supreme National Economic Council (SNEC) in mid 2010 following the holding of a National Workshop on Advancing Trade Facilitation under a thematic Business Process Analysis for Trade Facilitation: Operationalising the Rectangular Strategy for Growth on 1-2 June 2010 in Phnom Penh. Page 35

36 Cambodia BPA (since 2010) The workshop was organized jointly by the General Department of Customs and Excise, the Ministry of Commerce, and SNEC and supported by the UNESCAP and UNECE. The workshop laid the foundation for ESCAP s support, a tailored Business Process Analysis (BPA) training of analysts course followed by application of BPA techniques to four key import and export products identified under Cambodia s economic diversification strategy. BPA on rice, cashew, silk and pharmaceuticals Page 36

37 A Case of Rice Export prior to the launch of the Rice Export National Policy in August 2010 To export rice below 200 ton, the Private Sector needs to write a letter to ask for permission from MoC and GDCE (General Department of Customs and Excise). However, even though the MoC agrees, the Private Sector still needs to negotiate with the GDCE. This takes time and the buyer contract time is limited i.e. from 3-4 weeks only. Exporting more than 200 ton of rice is even more difficult and expensive. For example: the Private Sector (PS) need to go to Green Trade (GT) which has the monopoly to export rice; ask them to write a letter to MoC and then the MoC writes another letter to GDCE to ask for facilitation on this export operation. At each stage, the concerned authorities can create difficulties, delay unless the PS agrees to pay informal fees. Expenses occurred are as follows: (i) 50$ for CO, 0.1 % for export tax, (official); (ii) 170$ for export permit from GDCE; (iii) GDCE charges 55$ per container for checking and so does the CAMCONTROL; (iv) Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) charge 24$ to check a container; (v) When loading merchandises into the container, the MoC charge 40$ per container. Page 37

38 A Case of Rice Export prior to the launch of the Rice Export National Policy in August 2010 (cont.) Moreover, to transport rice from PS to Sihanouk Ville Port costs 40$ per ton which include 5$ charged by the trucking company. The exporter needs to top 50$ on the price of rice (for example buying the farmer 375$/ton and selling to buyer 425$) to be able to cover the export and transport charges and keep 10$/ton of gross margin. The PS also raises that the PS can not load the rice into container directly from the millers in various places. They have to bring the rice to PP and load into the container. This cost double price. This is a barrier that we cannot export rice in large amount. Page 38

39 Cambodia BPA recommendations for improvement One-Stop Shop: a special service for processing the export and import of agricultural products. This office will be in charge of issuing all the necessary permits and ensure: (i) transparent fee, and (2) time limit in 5 working days. Reduce informal fees: To be competitive with neighboring markets which are market leaders, we need to reduce the sales prices of rice meaning we need to limit unofficial fees for both export and import procedure. Export of rice: ensure free and fair competition by removing monopolies such as Greentrade. Thus enabling companies to export freely. Intervention in transport and transfer of merchandises: The MoC can influence other relevant entities such as dry ports to lower the cost for entering container from 20 USD to 3-5 USD. Or else the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) can provide a location for transferring merchandises without charging any fee. The RGC should establish or provide land for establishing of transferring center for huge amount of merchandises so that Cambodia can be a big rice supplier in Asia. There should be a website to promote rice in Cambodia or have an association of exporters of rice like in Thailand. Page 39

44 Trade facilitation measures in Cambodia Cambodia BPAs have identified bottlenecks, and proposed several specific improvement measures. Action 1: Tackling Capacity building issues, e.g. capacity building for exporting firms on export procedures, and capacity building on market access conditions. Action 2: Mobilizing of private sector rice actors Action 3: Enhancing trade facilitation, reducing informal fees and eliminating illegal check points Action 4: Identifying key legal and institutional gaps Page 44

45 Trade facilitation measures in Cambodia Cambodia BPAs provide strategic input and become the National Rice Export Policy endorsed by the Cambodia Government Measure 1: MEF/General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE), MAFF and MoC/General Department of CAMCONTROL and relevant agencies shall: develop a specific strategy to identify and streamline export processing procedures including inspection, documentation requirements, fees and time required to process export applications; define clear and publicly transparent division of responsibilities among export regulating ministries/agencies; consider milled rice export as a top priority in order to reduce to a minimum informal payments and time required to export by extending special treatment similar to the garment sector. Measure 2: Implement a single-stop service for export processing: MEF/GDCE, MAFF and MoC/CAMCONTROL and relevant agencies shall set up a Single Stop Service for export processing and issuing certificates for SPS, fumigation, grading and quality, quantity and weight, and customs declaration. Page 45

46 Conclusions of Cambodia rice BPA The rice sector holds a huge potential economic growth for Cambodia. If rice export could reach 3 million tons, the total export value would amount to USD 2.1 billion (approximately 20% of GDP). According to rice BPA study, high trade facilitation and internal transportation costs, in particular, are cited as having a significant impact on smaller rice traders ability to effectively export. The BPA on rice export was instrumental in highlighting actual uncompetitive trade facilitation practices as well as identifying helpful suggestions in improving trade facilitation procedures and processes at the national level. Overall positive effects of the Rice Export Policy: There has been some improvement in the export process after the launching of the new policy of paddy production and rice export. Many government agencies along the institutional value chain to support the implementation of the rice export policy. There are visible impr ovements in reduction of government-related transaction costs related to Customs, Camcontrol, and Commerce. Page 46

51 Lessons learned from Implementing BPA Get Buy-in from the high-level policy decision makers Secure adequate resources Clear roles and responsibilities of the project stakeholders Choose a Champion Start small, and then evolve Profit from experience Invest in training Performance measurement Page 51

52 Conclusions It is strongly recommended for the country (and also for each government department) to conduct detailed BPA study for the national strategic products (or for its internal process within the department) since it is a significant assessment tool for analysing the as-is and proposing specific trade facilitation measures for the country (or for the department). Graphical notations based on a modeling language, UML, is introduced. Step-by-step BPA project management is proposed. Page 52
