THE FRAMEWORK FOR

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Experience shows that the potential of
benchmarking to drive dramatic improvement lies squarely in making out-of-the-box comparisons and searching for insights not
typically found within intra-industry paradigms. To enable this beneficial benchmarking, the APQC Process Classification Framework
(PCF)® serves as a high-level, industry-neutral enterprise process model that allows organizations to see their business processes
from a cross-industry viewpoint. The cross-industry framework has experienced more than 20 years of creative use by thousands
of organizations worldwide. The PCF provides the foundation for APQC’s Open Standards Benchmarking® (OSB) database and the
work of its advisory council of global industry leaders. Each version of the PCF will continue to be enhanced as the OSB database
further develops definitions, processes, and measures. The PCF and associated measures and benchmarking surveys are available for
download from the Open Standards Benchmarking web site at www.apqc.org/osb.

HISTORY
The cross-industry Process Classification Framework® was originally envisioned as a taxonomy of business processes and a common
language through which APQC member organizations could benchmark their processes. The initial design involved APQC and more
than 80 organizations with a strong interest in advancing the use of benchmarking in the United States and worldwide. Since its
inception in 1992, the PCF has seen updates to most of its content. These updates keep the framework current with the ways that
organizations do business around the world. In 2014, APQC worked to enhance the cross-industry PCF and updated a number of
industry-specific process classification frameworks.

The PCF is written in United States English language format.

PCF LEVELS EXPLAINED

PROCESS ELEMENT NUMBERING SCHEME


The PCF identifies each process element using a unique 5-digit reference number following the name of the process element.[i.e., (16437),
(17060), (17061) (16458), (18129), shown in the above graphic]. This number will always refer to the conceptual definition of the process
element. The actual process elements and actual definition may change, but conceptually the decomposition will remain consistent
considering the entire scope of the PCF. A new 5-digit number will be assigned to a process element if its definition substantially changes.
