Post-it Notes are the Power Tool for Eliminating Delays
In an hour or two, a team can diagram a current process using Value Stream Mapping or Spaghetti Diagramming, and create a new, more fluid design that cuts cycle time by 50% or more.

I've worked with nurses who reconfigured nursing units to cut nurse travel by 50% or more. They did it in a couple of hours. We've done it in hospital labs to accelerate testing. We've done it in ERs to accelerate patient diagnosis, treatment and discharge.
IT's so easy and so few people do it.
