The concept of efficiency and effectivenessFrank Nyarko
Efficiency and effectiveness are management tools and they are inter-related. Companies’ main target is profitability. To ensure profitability is really achieved employees' work efficiency and effectiveness should be adhered to. To work with pace, create space and being organized are important ingredients to help remain abreast to the current trend of organizations' work demand. However the environment and each individual member are all part of the build-up to ensure maximum potential achievable. Notwithstanding each individual owe his or herself some level of the willingness to face new challenges. That comes with the readiness to remain updated. Innovation and creativity are key principle to be efficient and effective.
value stream mapping and metrics based process mappingTKMG, Inc.
Since Mike Osterling and I released our latest book, Value Stream Mapping, we've received a lot of questions about which level of mapping--value stream vs. process--people should opt for and why/when. We've also continued to hear people claim that value stream mapping team members should include the front-line staff. Not so.
These are the slides for a webinar delivered on 12-17-2015. The recording is available at:

Your Challenge
Companies understand the importance of business process improvement (BPI) and recognize the touted benefits: cost savings, waste elimination, and process efficiency.
With this said, 70% of companies that embark on process improvement initiatives fail.
The high probability of failure is attributed to a number of factors, including lack of continuous improvement and failing to define measurable outcomes.
Our Advice
Adopt a forward-facing outlook. Don’t focus solely on the current state, set improvement targets upfront to drive the initiative.
Break problems down into root-cause variables. Don’t look at the symptom, dive deeper and alleviate the root cause.
Empower business analysts. Create a practical process improvement methodology that your analysts can follow.
Impact and Result
Kick off process improvement by identifying the goals and defining the improvement targets.
Start by referring to the operating model and identifying level 1, 2, and 3 processes. Once the team understands the relationship between processes, they can begin to map a level 3 process using a standard mapping notation.
Use qualitative and quantitative techniques for analyzing the root cause rather than the symptoms.
Ensure the design is aligned with the initial improvement targets. Focus on value-added activities.
Consistently monitor the process and assess the root-cause variables to gauge the success of the process improvements.
