Methods & Procedures

Your initial step should involve a comprehensive review and fine-tuning of your methods and procedures. This often results in significant improvements, but it's crucial to complement this with accountability measures. While this may not entirely alleviate space constraints, it is an essential evaluation step preceding the consideration of various levels of automation. Automating flawed methods and procedures is counterproductive, yet unfortunately observed all too frequently.

Automation

Automation presents an exciting opportunity, offering quicker depreciation than real estate. It introduces productivity tools that streamline decision-making processes, reduce errors, and enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, automation can substantially minimize process footprint and labor content. When selecting technology suppliers, ensure they have successfully implemented functionalities aligned with your requirements, and conduct thorough site visits for validation.
