All the Time!

Description of Issues

Defect rates are low - quality is not a current issue

Need to check use of current reports - either

reduce size or eliminate

Multiple approval levels, lots of waiting for people to

sign-off

Opportunity for cross-training to reduce bottlenecks

Lots of hand-offs, mostly for approvals

Some stockpiling going on - supplies duplicated

across departments

Lot of legacy software, re-entry and not utilizing

auto-populate options

Forms have not been revised in years - lots of old,

and unused fields that could be removed
