In fact, there’s a lot more than that!
How do I know?
When we first started organizing our business using a systematic approach, it shocked us how well it worked. The turnaround in our business, not only had an immediate impact on our bottom-line, but a drastic reduction in the stress of running the business.
Surprisingly, it encouraged other business owners who witnessed our improvements and systematization to ask for our help.
Which launched a whole new career for us!
Now consider THIS list of benefits we gained from systematic organization:
Within a matter of months, errors went down from a whopping SEVEN PERCENT of total sales to ONE and a half percent of total sales. All due to our Quality Assurance System.
With this waste reduction, came fewer bottlenecks due to mistakes and employee miscommunication. Therefore, increasing our product through-put, enabling us to produce more jobs and income.
Delivering Jobs and Service to our clients, on-time, every time, became a number we could prove, because we MEASURED it.
How about 99.7 percent on-time delivery of products and services? Now, that’s pretty good.
We also implemented a system called the 100% System of Cleanliness. Simply put, every item in our company down to a paperclip had a permanent designated place and every item was in that place.
This was an eye-catching view of super organization and control in action. We even started getting requests for tours.
When you have time, watch one of our first videos we posted on YouTube called a Tour of Lean. You can see for yourself.
Also, with this system in place, we NO longer wasted hours searching for items and job materials due to clutter. Everything could be found in a matter of seconds or minutes.
Next, with our Employee Daily Routine system in place, everyone knew EXACTLY what to do, without management constantly instructing and overseeing them.
YEA, our employees could manage themselves.
That’s powerful for employee retention.
When leaving the office, I no longer received umpteen calls to my cell phone asking directions on solving various production problems.
