You can show the effects of excess handling by reviewing the Current State
Map and looking for changeover time and unnecessary processing.
Total upthese times and create a single number that represents the annual time requirement.
It may even be useful to calculate the dollar value of this wasted effort.
Spend the time necessary to find where multiple handlings of work exist and
look for ways to combine process steps, just as is done in manufacturing processes.
Sorting and resorting, filing and refiling, as well as creating batches of
paperwork for copying are perfect examples of these situations. Work as a team
to find ways, such as those shown in Figure 17.3, to simplify the work of
employees and eliminate this unnecessary handling and processing.
The goal in all of this has already been discussed in this chapter. Move การแลกเปลี่ยน
work as far as possible through the สายธารคุณค่า before setting it down.
By creating synchronous flow whenever possible, and moving it step by step in
order without stopping the flow, more work can be completed, and employees
can be much more efficient without working harder … just smarter.
