Go clean all the debris and stuff that&#8217;s collected over the years and get all that junk out of the way.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;After we Simplify, we Streamline, so we use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/quality-tools\/value-stream-map\/\">Value Stream Maps<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/training\/videos\/spaghetti-diagram\/\">Spaghetti Diagrams<\/a> to figure out how to simplify flows, connect them better so we get rid of all the delays that are slowing us down and slowing down customers and making them unhappy, right? We don&#8217;t want to do that.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Simplify, Streamline, then Optimize: we can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/breakthrough-improvement-excel\/magnificent-seven-tools\/\">tools of Six Sigma<\/a> to get into the data and really figure out exactly where things are going wrong and fix the stuff that&#8217;s going wrong so it stops going wrong forever.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Simplify, Streamline, Optimize\u2026 now you may have to do that repeatedly, but at some point, things get simple, streamlined and optimized enough that you get an idea about how to Innovate how your business works. At that point you can [say] \u201cOh, we could do it this way and it&#8217;d be wicked faster, better, cheaper, happier for customers.\u201d This is the idea.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s my Improvement Insight for this week: Adopt some &#8220;soy&#8221; in your business (and it&#8217;s not that&#8230; vegan stuff). SSOI. Let&#8217;s create a hassle-free America; hassle-free healthcare.
