This paper presents an organizational analysis methodology aimed at knowledge capitalization with a view to improving business processes. Based on a real problem in a large electric sector firm, this methodology is applied to managing the transport of indivisible exceptional cargo (IEC). In the firm in question, intellectual capital is a critical asset for service performance and is fundamental for achieving business excellence. Applied to the firm's transport management process, the approach proved appropriate to IEC transport-related organizational goals. A review highlights definitions and structures for improving business processes proposed previously in the literature. The results of applying the methodology are discussed at the end of the paper.
