What Is Efficiency Improvement?
Reduce unnecessary time, effort, movement, waiting, duplication, or rework while preserving the required quality and outcome.
Why Does Efficiency Improvement Matter?
Efficiency Improvement matters because working harder does not necessarily improve output. The skill looks for friction in the way work is organized rather than simply asking people to work faster.
What Does It Look Like?
Someone applying efficiency improvement may:
- •identifies where work waits, repeats, or changes hands unnecessarily
- •measures the part of the process being improved before changing it
- •removes a step only after checking what purpose that step served
- •checks whether the improvement created a new problem elsewhere
How to Develop Efficiency Improvement
You can develop it by:
- •time one recurring process from start to finish
- •mark every waiting, duplicate, and rework point on a process map
- •test one small process change and compare the result with the original baseline
