Introduction
A business process, in its simplest form, is a set of procedures that are frequently
repeated by an organization to achieve a certain objective (Villanova University, 2022).
Numerous repetitions of a process are possible, and to make them effective and
efficient, they are frequently carefully designed and continuously adjusted. Contrarily,
putting procedures into place creates consistency, which makes it possible to give
customers goods, services, and customer support of a higher caliber. Business
processes and its related activities are the main talking point of the report that follows.
Business processes include, for instance, operational processes, sales processes,
human resources processes, and supply chain procedures. This paper will just discuss
the production process to make it simpler for the readers to grasp. The chosen business
is TATA Motors. At present, TATA Motors’s market value stands at $37 billion (Tata
Motors, 2021). Even though Jamsetji Tata established the TATA Group in 1868, TATA
Motors only officially launches in 1945. And as of right now, this enormous corporation
employs 52,351 people and has sold more than 10,86,734 cars over its eight decades
of operation (Tata Motors, 2020). Processes for input, carrying out manufacturing tasks,
preparing the product, and finally distributing it to the points of sale are all included in
the production business process.

1. Task 1: Business Procedures and the Company
The conversion of resources and raw materials into consumable commodities is a part
of the business process. Depending on the product or service produced and supplied to
the client segment, business processes may differ from one firm to another. This section
will analyse the production process at Tata Motors in particular.
1.1 Business Process Map / Flow Chart
TATA Engineering and Locomotive Company (TELCO) was founded by TATA Group in
1945 (Tata Motors, 2021). 2003 saw a name change to TATA Motors. For both middle-
class and upper-class customers, they manufacture cars in the mid-range to luxury
category. Over 25 different locations in India, Europe, China, the United Kingdom, and
North America house Tata Motors' production plants. (Facilities, 2009). Moreover, Tata
Motors is present in more than 170 countries. For ease of comprehension of Tata's
production process, its flow chart is shown in a visual version below. A workflow chart is
essentially a diagram that depicts the many business processes graphically as well as
who is in charge of what task at what stage of the process. SmartArt makes creating it
simple. In essence, it mixes standard shapes and symbols into a work flow to indicate
the sequential completion of tasks from beginning to end. The operations involved in
Tata Motors' business process include ordering raw materials supplies and equipment,
producing the requested items, and then distributing the vehicles.
Press Shop- After collecting raw materials the production process starts in the body
shop, where rolls of cold steel are brought to this facility and processed by an
automated washing, blanking, and stacking line made by a "Heilbronn" company.
Different panels are produced on this machine, which is efficient as well as cost
effective at the same time, at a pace of 34 stampings per minute (Team-BHP, 2021).
Most of the steel used in Tata Motors' cars comes from Posco and Tata Steel. Because
they themselves produce the inputs, steels, TATA Motors gets it at a relatively low price
which helps to minimize cost. Most of these parts are not just bought from any source;
rather, the Indian Head Office's supply chain is used to acquire them which ensures
profit maximization. Thanks to the enormous global network of suppliers and distributors
