prosesseittain

Prosesseittain is a Finnish adverb meaning “by process” or “process-wise.” It describes organizing, presenting, or analyzing information according to individual processes rather than by product, department, or function. The form is derived from prosessi (process) with the suffix -ittain used to form adverbs of manner.

In usage, prosesseittain is common in manufacturing, service delivery, and research or analytics when there is a need to compare or assess performance across different processes. It enables stakeholders to see how each step or workflow contributes to outcomes. For example, data can be reported prosesseittain to highlight variations between processes or to identify bottlenecks.

Etymology and related terms: prosesseittain is formed from prosessi plus the adverbial suffix -ittain. Related Finnish terms include prosessikohtainen (process-specific) and prosessiin liittyvä (process-related), which describe attributes tied to a particular process rather than to the organization as a whole.

Limitations and notes: The term is specialized and primarily used in Finnish-speaking contexts. In English-language writing, alternatives such as “by process” or “process-wise” may be chosen for clarity, depending on the audience. When adopting the term in multilingual documentation, it may be helpful to provide a brief translation or explanation.
