In today’s ever changing and demanding operational environment, often there is not the time or resources to allocate to identifying ways to do things more efficiently. Even modern automated processing often involves pointless product movement, excessive checking, double handling, and other wastage. In more traditional environments, legacy systems and processes waste untold labour hours, energy, materials and money, often producing results which are, themselves, substandard.
