I am a great fan of lean processing.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing
There is lots to read, but I think the following images summarise the key points for success. These being the 5 S to achieve success and the 8 W (wastes) which we should seek to minimise or avoid.
We all know how being organised and having everything in its place makes a big difference to getting things done. Being more efficient and effective makes us happier, healthier and wealthier.
We all groan at the extra or unproductive work, stock, paper etc., that is used but adds no value. Working on reducing the 8 wastes will reduce this, and increase profit!
ciChange is a not-for-profit forum for ideas and discussion, about all aspects of Change Management, including people, processes, teams and leadership. It is a place to share and exchange models, papers, ideas and information about change. We welcome participation from a broad audience, including business and change leaders as well as project & change providers.
