Management Is in Charge of Managing Excellent Deliverables

Monday, May 9, 2011
Business process kaizen requires editing best practices, including that of simple work. If an employee in charge of checking data entry work encounters a performance that he finds excellent, it's good to acknowledge this in the corporate portal.
In the below workflow, the leader decides which case to add as a "best practice," from the cases selected by checkers.

<Tasks>
1. Register Image Data, 2. Accept & Schedule, 3. Text Data, 4. Check, 4b. Best Practice Selection, 5. Record in Work Log, 6. Answer Questions


[Efficiently-Digitizing < Best Practice >: "4b. Best Practice Selection" screen]
