Blog Post: Green and Lean to Improve Productivity

You can help your company look at ways to reduce waste, increase efficiency and improve productivity.  I recommend you use an analysis tool that helps employees understand how they perform their jobs, to get the following information:

• Analyze the work processes with a mind map of the job area 
• List the specific activities and tasks that are performed in order to complete the job. 
• Examine details – materials, supplies, manpower necessary to do the job. 
• Ask the group to brainstorm a list of actions or ideas that can be implemented to reduce wasteful practices.  (paper flow, recycling processes, ink cartridge recycling) or blockages to productivity.

 Being “Green” isn’t just about reducing waste, it’s also about changing the way we look at our jobs and taking action to implement improvements.
