@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies Thanks Rich.

Sounds like you want to go through a 3
Part step to get ready for the next steps.

Process is not only systems and standards, but about reducing risk and isssues. In other words, you don’t want it feeling like it’s duct taped together and might fall apart in 🚀

@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies 1. Is called process mapping. This writing down what you do now, who does it, how they do it, how long it takes, and what needs to be o be done first (dependencies).

This is a pain because no progress is made, but you have to start somewhere.

This also sets up 2

@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies 2. Optimize

Based on dependencies, possible parallel work, cost structures and capabilities, and a few you other things, you combine steps, eliminate, outsource, and re order them.

“What’s the best way to do this with 100x more volume, without making a mistake?”

@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies 3. Document.

The entire new process should be documented in a structure that makes it easy to find, and usable by those who don’t know the system process or the resources that you used to carry it out. Do you want somebody off the street to be able to do it first time.

@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies I don’t have much publicly available on process mapping and optimizing, but here are a few things to get you started.

@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies An example of optimize, but not so much the framework.

@StrongpointRich @jasoncoxnc @girdley @WilsonCompanies Finally, this is all extremely powerful when it’s built on a platform that creates a really flexible operation.
