An approach for systematically increasing value created and throughput across teams and organizations using process optimization, metrics and continuous improvement.
Productivity improvement focuses on systematic measures to increase value created per time unit across teams and organizations. The approach combines process optimization, work organization, metrics and continuous improvement to raise throughput, quality and employee satisfaction. Implementation spans training, tooling and structural workflow changes.
Measures number of completed work items per defined period.
Time from start to completion of a work item.
Share of work items that require rework.
By introducing WIP limits and optimized review processes, throughput was significantly increased within six months.
Standard operating procedures and checklists led to less rework and higher release stability.
Automated deployments and playbooks shortened response times and increased availability.
As-is analysis of processes and metrics
Prioritize high-impact, low-effort levers
Pilot, measure effects and scale successful measures
