business process vs business functions

VipinVipin9y ago
Businesses should be structured around processes rather than functions.(BPP) Could you give example for a business process ? I guess, business function refers to Accounting functions, marketing functions, etc...

To my mind, function = department. Process describes how the functions are carried out. For example, what steps take place when a order is received: check credit, check inventory, plan production, production, check quality, despatch. These can be shown on swim-lane diagrams which show who does what.
