| Automation will help your business to eliminate time-consuming re-keying of
data between applications or documents. If data arrives electronically it is
often possible to eliminate manual entry completely. |
 |
| Sometimes processes involve manual checking for updates to common email folders,
lists or documents. Doing this too often wastes time and too infrequently means
delays getting tasks completed. Systems should tell their owners when
something needs their attention. |
 |
| Avoid devolved responsibility. If everyone in a process is automatically
informed at each step of the way, no two people are duplicating work or
waiting for the other. |
