The APQC Process Classification Framework® (PCF Framework)
The PCF Framework was developed by APQC, a global resource for benchmarking and best practices, and its member companies as an open standard to facilitate improvement through process management and benchmarking, regardless of industry, size, or geography. The PCF organizes operating and management processes into 12 enterprise level categories, including process groups and over 1,000 processes and associated activities. To download the full PCF or industry-specific versions of the PCF as well as associated measures and benchmarking, visit www.apqc.org/pcf.

Our Enterprise Process Centre™ (EPC) software product offers the simplest, fastest, and most effective way to align, review and improve your processes.
Why the implementation of best practices can be tricky
Implementing a best practices framework across your organization requires taking a top-down approach – something which isn’t always easy to do when every department has its own process maps stored in various programs (like Visio, Word or Excel). An attempt at understanding the big picture can feel like trying to fit a gigantic jigsaw puzzle together.
Institutionalizing a best practices framework is made easier when your daily processes are managed through a single database. The right business process management (BPM) software is the key to successfully implementing APQC’s PCF.
