Record a measured efficiency gain (before/after on a process metric)
Efficiency is profit you already earned but lost to waste. Improving productivity — cutting wasted steps, time, and motion — lets you do more work with the same team and margin.
Do this
- Find the biggest time-wasters in your workflow.
- Eliminate, simplify, or automate the worst ones.
- Standardize the faster way as the new normal.
- Measure the time saved and reinvest it.
Efficiency Improvement Checklist
- List where time and effort are wasted
- Pick the single biggest drain first
- Eliminate, simplify, or automate it
- Update the SOP to lock in the gain
- Measure time saved, then repeat
