Do you dream of a company where everything runs smoothly? Where processes are smooth, customers are satisfied and costs are controlled? Look no further, operational efficiency is the key to your success! But be careful, it’s not just a question of cost reduction. Efficiency is the art of optimizing the use of your resources to achieve your goals quickly, accurately and economically. Sound familiar? So, let’s dive into the secrets of successful companies together!

What exactly is operational efficiency?

Operational efficiency is a bit like the holy grail of companies. It is the ability to use the available resources optimally to carry out the company’s activities. Basically, it’s doing better with less. It may sound simple to say it like that, but in reality, it’s quite an art!

To measure operational efficiency, the ratio between the resources invested (input) and the results obtained (output) is calculated. The objective is to have the best possible performance. But be careful, it’s not just a question of producing more with fewer resources. Efficiency also includes improving quality, speeding up delivery times and increasing customer satisfaction.

Concrete example of operational efficiency

Let’s take the example of a clothing manufacturing company. Thanks to an operational efficiency approach, it was able to:

• Reduce production costs by 15% by optimizing processes and reducing waste
• Improve the quality of its products by implementing more rigorous quality controls
• Shorten delivery times by 30% by optimizing your supply chain
• Increase customer satisfaction by 20% thanks to better quality products delivered faster

Why operational efficiency is crucial for your business

You may be wondering why operational efficiency is so important. Well, simply because it allows you to win on all fronts!

A study conducted by McKinsey showed that the most successful companies in terms of operational efficiency had an operating margin 30% higher than the average for their sector.

By optimizing your processes, you can reduce your operational costs and thus increase your profitability. But that’s not all! Efficiency also allows you to improve the quality of your products and services, reduce your lead times and therefore increase customer satisfaction. And we all know that a satisfied customer is a loyal customer!

The 3 pillars of operational efficiency

To achieve operational efficiency, it is necessary to act on 3 key levers:

1. Process automation: By automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, you free up time for your employees to focus on higher value-added activities.
2. Performance management: By setting up key performance indicators (KPIs) and regularly monitoring your results, you can identify areas for improvement and take the necessary actions.
3. Continuous improvement: Efficiency is not a state, it is a process. You have to constantly question your practices and seek to improve.

How to implement an operational efficiency approach?

Now that you’re convinced of the importance of operational efficiency, you’re probably wondering how to implement it in your company. Don’t panic, we’ll guide you step by step!

Step 1: Analyze your current processes

The first step is to take stock of your current processes. It is necessary to identify tasks with low added value, bottlenecks, sources of waste. You can do this by using tools such as process mapping or value stream analysis.

Step 2: Set your improvement goals

Once you have a clear vision of your processes, you need to set improvement goals. These goals should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound. For example, you can aim for a 10% cost reduction over the next 6 months.

Step 3: Implement improvement actions

Time for action! Depending on your objectives, you will implement concrete actions to optimize your processes. This can involve automating certain tasks, training your employees, reorganizing your flows, etc.

Step 4: Measure your results and adjust

Efficiency is also a matter of measurement. You need to track your KPIs regularly to make sure you’re on track. If this is not the case, we must adjust our focus and implement new actions.

Technology for operational efficiency

In the digital age, technologies have become valuable allies in boosting operational efficiency. Here are some examples of technologies that can help you:

• Robotic Process Automation (RPA): RPA automates repetitive and standardized tasks, such as data entry or invoice processing. The result: a considerable saving in time and efficiency!
• Artificial intelligence (AI): AI can help you analyze large volumes of data to identify opportunities for improvement. It can also be used to predict breakdowns and optimize the maintenance of your equipment.
• The Internet of Things (IoT): By connecting your machines and equipment, you can collect real-time data on how they operate. This data can then be analyzed to optimize your processes and prevent breakdowns.
• Blockchain: Blockchain is a technology that makes it possible to secure and trace exchanges. It can be used to optimize your supply chain by providing better visibility and transparency

According to a study by PwC, the use of AI and automation could generate a 14% increase in global productivity by 2030.

Imagine a world where every digital document is a passport, bearing the unalterable proofs of its authenticity and integrity. File verification is just that, an essential process in the digital age, makes this possible. But do you really know what file verification is and why it’s so crucial? Let’s dive into this exciting world together!

What is File Verification?

File verification is a set of techniques that make it possible to ensure that a digital document has not been altered since its creation or its last authorized modification. It’s a bit like an invisible tattoo that guarantees the integrity and authenticity of a file.

In concrete terms, this involves the use of cryptographic algorithms that generate a unique fingerprint and a digital signature of its creator. Unlike many solutions that record this fingerprint on a blockchain, KeeeX seals these elements directly in the file’s metadata. Thus, at any time and even without an internet connection, it is possible to check whether the file still corresponds to its original fingerprint.

Let’s take a concrete example. Let’s say you’re sending a contract to a customer. Before sending it, you “keeex” it, i.e. you inject a unique digital fingerprint into it. This fingerprint can also be recorded on a blockchain to prove its existence on a given date. When your client receives the contract, they can in turn subject it to verification. The system will then compare the imprint of the contract received with the one stored in his passport. If they match, it is proof that the contract has not been modified since it was sent. It’s simple, efficient and automatic!

But file verification is not limited to textual documents. It can be applied to any type of digital file: images, videos, audio files, etc. Thus, a photographer can certify the originality of his shots, a musician can prove his paternity on a composition, a company can guarantee the integrity of its technical plans. The possibilities are endless!

It is important to know that file verification is not a one-time operation. It can, and should, be done at several key stages of a file’s lifecycle: when it is created, before it is sent, when it is received, before it is archived, etc. It is this continuous verification that maintains a high level of trust throughout the data processing chain.

Why is file verification so important?

In a world where fake news and deep fakes are proliferating, where cyberattacks are commonplace, file verification has become an imperative. It offers many advantages:

Data Security

By ensuring file integrity, verification protects sensitive company data from tampering and malicious manipulation.

Regulatory Compliance

Many regulations, such as the GDPR in Europe, require rigorous traceability of documents. File verification helps meet these requirements.

Trust and transparency

Verified files are the guarantee of a relationship of trust with its customers, partners and investors. It is also a guarantee of transparency, which is essential in many sectors such as finance and health.

Operational efficiency

Automating verification reduces human error and speeds up processes, saving companies a lot of time and money.

The Challenges of Setting Up File Verification

But beware, setting up an effective file check is not an easy task. This raises several challenges:

Technical complexity

Verification systems can be difficult to set up and use, especially when juggling different file formats and technologies.

Interoperability

Ideally, a verification system should be able to interface with all of the company’s tools and platforms. A real headache sometimes!

Cost

Implementing a verification solution from A to Z can represent a significant initial investment, between technological costs and team training.

Technological solutions for file verification

Fortunately, technological advances offer more and more solutions to these challenges:

Cryptography

Digital signatures and cryptographic fingerprints are at the heart of verification systems. They guarantee the integrity and authenticity of files in a tamper-proof manner.

The signature of a keeexé document complies with the European eIDAS regulation.

Blockchain

By recording the proofs of existence and modification of files on a blockchain, transparent and immutable traceability is obtained. It’s a bit like a large incorruptible public register.

A blockchain anchor of your keeexed files is possible on Bitcoin, the most secure blockchain in the world, every 12 hours in order to prove their existence worldwide.

Automation

Gone are the days of checking each file by hand! Now, tools automate the process in real time, tracking down the slightest anomaly.

Audit automation is a game-changer for companies that manage a large volume of data. Let’s take the example of an insurance company that processes thousands of contracts and claims every day. Manually verifying the integrity of each document would be a titanic, time-consuming and prone to human error. With an automated solution, every file is verified instantly, with no extra effort for teams. This saves a lot of time and resources!

But automation is more than just the verification itself. It can also be applied to the management of anomalies. If the system detects a corrupted or corrupted file, it can automatically quarantine it, alert the affected parties, and in some cases, even attempt an automatic repair. The entire incident processing chain can be optimized.

Of course, implementing such automation requires some technical expertise. You have to define the verification rules, configure the tools, train the teams… But once in place, the return on investment is fast. Companies that have taken the plunge report a significant reduction in operational costs, fewer errors, and increased confidence in their document management processes.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

These technologies can analyze files, detecting tampering patterns invisible to the naked eye. However, they are quite slow and do not give 100% reliable answers, only probabilities.

File Verification Use Cases

• Securing legal and financial documents (contracts, invoices, reports)
• Traceability of medical records and health data
• Authentication of diplomas and training certificates
• Document archiving over decades
• Ensuring the integrity of reports and audits across all industries
• Implementation of a data-driven cybersecurity policy (Zero Trust, Data Centric Security, Data Loss Prevention)
