Simple Productivity


What does every company need from their employees? Productivity.

What does every business owner want for himself? Productivity.

What do superior performers desire? Productivity.

How can we get our company to be more productive? Better processes, better procedures, better quality, better throughput.

So how do we get there? Simplify.

Have you looked at your processes and procedures recently? Your co-workers have to look through pages to get what information they need. Why can’t they be written in plain English with pictures rather than legalese?

Then look at your business from your customer’s eyes. How hard do you make it to order from you? Where can you make it simple?

How did Japanese automakers grow their market share? Their customers did not choose every individual option like American automakers. They offered standard and deluxe models with options included. The customer’s main choice was color. Inventory and pricing were streamlined, and they focused on making the models that were selling. Result - increasing profits

Where can you simplify today?
