Abstract

The PROCESS TRANSFORMATION AND TRANSITIONING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“PTT”) transform unoptimized locally-deployable baseline processes via PTT components into custom globally optimized processes and transition materials. In one implementation, the PTT obtains a baseline process optimization request via a processor, including a unoptimized locally-deployable baseline process. The PTT provides a notification of receipt of the baseline process optimization request, obtains a sub-process identification input, and resolves, via the processor, the unoptimized locally-deployable baseline process into one or more baseline sub-processes. Also, the PTT accesses a process template database for sub-process templates matching the resolved baseline sub-processes, and identifies, via the processor, sub-process templates matching the resolved baseline sub-processes using a matching procedure. The PTT modifies, via the processor, the identified sub-process templates according impact determinations generated using the matching procedure to generate custom globally optimized sub-processes, and stores the modified custom globally optimized sub-processes in a database.
