Member You - 5 Steps to Build Stronger Communication and Understanding
Some of the reasons why software mogul and giant Microsoft is what it is may be apparent. They're a monopoly, yes. It's said time and time again. They monopolize the market; that is how they make all their money. A supreme court judge even ruled on the matter.What most people don't realize is exactly how Micrsoft has engineered it's monopoly from the beginning. Their fortune did not come easily - no large fortune does. Microsoft is also constantly coming up with marketing themes (and schemes) in order to maintain their monopoly, and expand it.For example is Microsoft Windows Update (for more information on Windows Update, refer to my artic

As you get into running your own home staging business there will be times when you are asked to stage homes that are vacant because either the owner has already moved or perhaps you will be staging houses that are model homes.You'll need to have some furniture and accessories in order to stage houses that are vacant.You have a couple of options:First, you could buy what you need to buy to make the home show well and keep those items as part of your staging supplies. Keep the costs affordable as much as you can and buy items that will be the most versatile for your home staging business. Consider it part of the start-up costs that w
How do you do this?
Identify Core Processes
Last time, we followed the money trail and identified your business’ core processes. We discussed where to best start a change in one of those core processes. And we introduced the technique of producing a process map. So this week, let’s take a further look at how to create a process map – and see how it creates knowledge to benefit you and your organization.
Use Process Map as Communication Tool
A process map is a flow diagram of the primary processes within an organization. It very specifically shows you both who and what is involved in a process, as well as the requirements for that process to be effective. The primary goal is to use the map as a communication tool. It is to show the sequence of interactions of the elements involved in the process. And so process maps are drawn and used by organizations to achieve several benefits:
• Increase process understanding
• Clarify process boundaries, ownership and effectiveness measures
• Identify process sequences
• Isolate core processes, bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement
• Clarify the interaction of Customer, Supplier, Management and Operations processes
• Provide a tool for training and discussion

Ergonomic office chairs are extremely popular in today’s office environment. Many employees find that they are sitting for more than eight hours per day while at work. It is important that ergonomic office chairs be used to reduce shoulder, back, and neck strain. While ergonomic office chairs may cost more than a standard office chair, the initial cost is a wise investment and worthwhile in increasing productivity and preventing serious injury.There are many important factors to consider when selecting proper ergonomic office chairs. Some of the features that should be looked for are an adjustable seat, proper lumbar support, a backrest, adeq

There are over 100,000 work related foot injuries in the United States every year. These types of injuries are all too common and in many cases are the result if improper footwear. Our feet take enough stress already just from normal daily activity it only makes sense that if we work in a hazardous job that we need to wear protective work boots or shoes.If you are in an industry such as construction or petrochemical plants where there are numerous hazards that can befall your feet it is even more crucial that you choose work boots with reinforced safety toes or steel toes. In many workplaces these are actually required footwear and are not option

Plastic has, quite literally, become the cornerstone of our society. We make so many things from plastic that it is hard to imagine what our lives would be like if it was never invented. With so many of our everyday products being made of plastic, it is easy to understand why plastic injection molding is such a huge industry.Approximately 30% of all plastic products are produced using an injection molding process. Of this 30%, a large amount of these products are produced by using custom injection molding technology. Six steps are involved in the injection molding process, after the prototype has been made and approved.The first step t

Several success stories have emanated from the lean manufacturing initiatives. Although some organizations were not able to sustain the success after a few years, many others kept building on the initial success through continual improvements in processes. Discussed below are the keys to lean manufacturing success that were common for most of the success stories:Prepare and motivate people: Widespread orientation was given to continuous improvement, quality, training, and recruiting workers with appropriate skills. A common understanding of need to change to lean manufacturing was created.Employee involvement: Decision making and system de

This type of map shows the “big picture” of 10-20 core processes within an organization. The map also shows the critical elements within each section and its importance within the whole system. And these sections, or bands, are what relate the processes to each other AND to the outside suppliers and customers.
Link Suppliers and Customers
Although there are several ways to draw a process map, the basic diagram is typically constructed in four bands. And these four bands link together Customers, Primary Processes, Secondary Processes and Suppliers.
You improve effectiveness by showing the specifics of a process. And sometimes we’ve learned the hard way that the development phase of a project or a process is far more expensive than the planning phase. And so by thinking through and perfecting your processes beforehand, you decrease waste in development time. With a detailed process map, you identify and decrease such waste wherever it occurs in the process.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind while process mapping:
• Identify core processes to support mission and goals
• Determine how to create value for the customer throughout the process
• Map ownership and performance metrics along with the process
• Engage your people in process mapping to define problems and solutions
Now, let’s break down the process map even further.
Define Steps of the Process
We’ve just defined the big picture process map as a sequence of interactions of multiple processes. These multiple processes consist of multiple steps. As we’ve discussed, the benefits are better com
