Analysis Framework

1. Map Current State

Document every step, decision point, and handoff

Identify who does what and how long each step takes

Note manual steps, approvals, and waiting times

2. Identify Waste

Waiting: Time spent in queues or waiting for approvals

Rework: Steps that fail and need to be redone

Handoffs: Each handoff is a potential point of failure or delay

Over-processing: Steps that add no value

Manual work: Tasks that could be automated

3. Design Future State

Eliminate unnecessary steps

Automate where possible

Reduce handoffs

Parallelize independent steps

Add checkpoints (not gates)

4. Measure Impact

Time saved per cycle

Error rate reduction

Cost savings

Employee satisfaction improvement

Output

Produce a before/after process comparison with specific improvement recommendations, estimated impact, and an implementation plan.
