Government
Administrative Organizations and Government Agencies often are plagued with long wait times, backlogs of work, deadlines not being met, cut-backs in service, reduced budgets, slow implementation, difficult approval processes. Without enough hours in the day to get the necessary tasks completed, teams find it challenging to actually improve the situation, and these difficulties remain. How can this be solved? First we must agree that administrative areas have processes similar to typical production areas. Upon proper examination of these administrative processes FVWDB finds that the processes have waste/non-value added activities built into them.
Once we have established that there is waste and we understand the end-to-end process, then we can initiate the elimination of the causes of the waste and improve the entire process. The result is that you are now able to meet the client/customer demand by using the new process without adding more staff, space or capital equipment. In addition, your staff are less stressed and become passionate about their jobs, which create a culture of sustainable improvement and service.
Working with our Administrative and Government clients, we have been able to identify and improve processes, including:
- Reduced the waiting times for customers
- Paperwork reduction
- Shorter times from program enrollment to training opportunities
- Signatures for approval reduced
