Over the last several years, they have focused on standardizing processes. They have an executive-level global process owner team that makes sure all of there processes are consistent. If they need to make changes, that team is involved and engaged, and ultimately makes final decisions on process change. The Amway recently established a Center of Excellence [COE], consisting of subject matter experts from the business. With any big IT initiative, the COE, in partnership with Amway’s finance division, is involved to make sure that all the areas of the business are considered—the complete end-to-end solution.
