Research indicates that the majority of work that's done within a process is not directly value-added to the final product or service.

Research indicates that the majority of work that's done within a process is not directly value-added to the final product or service. Think of the routing of parts or information, the checking, approvals, revisions required, delays in returning or re-routing, etc. – and it's very clear that there's opportunity for improvement. Many of these steps require more of a mindset and associated simple process changes rather than significant investments in new technology or information systems. 

The Rapid Change methodology is an approach designed to identify process improvement recommendations, through cross-functional teams, that can be implemented quickly. Processes are streamlined, modified, eliminated or improved to increase overall business performance and empowerment, utilizing employees that know the process best. It focuses on eliminating non-value-added tasks from existing processes which could include reviews, reports, approvals, meetings, measurements, policies and other procedures.
