How to get started

A Framework for Improving Efficiency



View real-world case-study of this improvement framework here.

  • 01

    Identify the Process

    Select the process that needs improvement
    Clearly define its scope and objectives

  • 02

    Analyze the Current Process

    Map the Process: Create a detailed flowchart or diagram of the current process
    Gather Data: Collect data on process performance (e.g., time, cost, quality metrics)
    Identify Bottlenecks and Issues: Look for delays, redundancies, and quality issues

  • 03

    Engage Stakeholders

    Involve employees, managers, and other stakeholders who interact with the process.
    Collect their input and suggestions for improvement.

  • 04

    Set Improvement Goals

    Define clear, measurable objectives (e.g., reduce process time by 20%, improve quality by 15%).
    Ensure goals are aligned with overall business objectives.

  • 05

    Identify Improvement Opportunities

    Brainstorm Solutions: Generate ideas for process enhancements.
    Benchmarking: Compare with industry best practices or similar processes in other organizations.
    Root Cause Analysis: Use tools like the 5 Whys or Fishbone Diagram to identify underlying causes of issues.

  • 06

    Develop an Improvement Plan

    Prioritize Solutions: Rank potential improvements based on impact and feasibility.
    Create an Action Plan: Define steps, responsibilities, timelines, and resources needed for implementation.

  • 07

    Implement Changes

    Pilot Testing: Implement changes on a small scale to test their effectiveness.
    Full Implementation: Roll out successful changes across the entire process.

  • 08

    Monitor and Measure Results

    Track process performance using the same metrics collected during the analysis phase.
    Compare results against improvement goals.

  • 09

    Standardize and Document

    Update process documentation to reflect changes.
    Standardize successful practices to ensure consistency and sustainability.

  • 10

    Review and Iterate

    Continuously review process performance.
    Make further adjustments and improvements as needed.
