Office muda on YouTube
It’s a classic technique: follow an order from receipt to fulfilment. Shapiro, Rangan and Sviokla wrote an influential article on the subject in HBR in 1992 (Staple yourself to an order).
Now, with more humour, a YouTube version. An outfit called Business Process Excellence in the US have posted an 8 minute animation on the theme. They’ve disabled embedding, so I can’t show it here, but here’s the link. Be aware, the puns are appalling.
