First we look at the system as it actually runs. Where work waits, it piles up.
Visualisation: a company drawn as points. Work flows between seven areas and piles up where it waits.
- Customers: Questions, requests and orders arriving
- Orders: Orders taken, changed and confirmed
- Documents: Forms, invoices, contracts and records
- Finance: Invoices, approvals and payments
- Operations: Planning, stock and delivery
- Machines: Equipment, sensors and production
- People: Expertise, judgement and decisions
