Lean Office: (Key to Reducing Costs and Improving Profitability)
About this ebook
Is your office inefficiency leading to low worker morale and high workforce turnover?
Are you losing customers or irritated due to disorganized office practices?
Applying Lean principles to your office operations can solve these problems and create efficient knowledge workers that are a real competitive advantage.
Given the success that Lean Manufacturing has shown in cleaning up production processes, why not achieve a Lean Enterprise by driving Lean Office practices into the front office where inefficient procedures, paperwork and bureaucracy in one area can stall the leanest efforts of other operations.
Lean is not about cutting staff and resources. Instead, it is about:
• Focusing people’s efforts creating value for the customer and eliminating waste.
• Speeding up the operation by eliminating idle time created by paperwork and bureaucracy.
