Process improvement starts with a recurring problem in an actual workflow. Mapping the current process helps identify delay, rework and handoffs that a simple activity count can miss.
Observe how work is done and compare it with the written procedure. Measure a relevant baseline, such as elapsed time or repeat errors. Investigate the cause before choosing software, training or a new approval step.
Test a limited change and compare its result with the baseline. Check whether the change shifts work or risk to another team. Update the procedure and responsibilities when the improvement proves useful.
