Process inefficiencies cost your business time and money that it can’t afford to lose. When process inefficiencies occur, employees spend an excessive amount of time compensating for them. The result is additional, unnecessary communication, duplicated effort, reduced profits, and customer satisfaction. This can be especially damaging to a business that prides itself on timely product delivery or during high-consumption periods. Fortunately, process improvement is made easier through the latest technology.
Revealing Process Inefficiencies
There have been so many new developments in technology that most business owners don’t realize that existing process inefficiencies are hurting their bottom line. Automated inventory tracking can highlight the use of relevant inputs and allow business owners to determine if there is under-utilization of inputs at any stage of the production process. Technology can also be used to track customer habits and preferences. Instead of adhering to a standard retail trend, businesses can avoid excess stock and adapt their productivity to suit customers’ retail habits once they’ve been digitally tracked and monitored.
Carrying Out Process Improvement
The science of carrying out incremental process improvement is a business strategy called “Kaizen”. It’s a philosophy that applies to all individuals in the business, from the owner and CEO to the assembly-line worker. All employees are made to feel personally invested in the business, giving them the freedom to suggest solutions to improve their own inefficiencies while monitoring their colleagues as well. The approach is summarized by four stages: Plan, Do, Check and Act. Employees and management collectively draw up a plan to correct process inefficiencies, act on that plan, evaluate the usefulness of the plan and then apply it to future endeavors.
Avoiding Future Process Inefficiencies
When technology is paired with the Kaizen approach, businesses can avoid future process inefficiencies. Technology can evolve in tandem with your business in a symbiotic positive feedback relationship. Unnecessary manual tasks should be eliminated and replaced with the appropriate machinery or software to increase production. This also reduces dependence on multiple employees and cuts the amount of budget dedicated to salaries. All systems must be completely integrated on the technical and personnel levels. While it’s not required for employees to have an in-depth understanding of all elements of the business, they should understand how their tasks specifically affect the business and the importance of maintaining efficiency.
