Nothing should be off limits. So many improvement ideas can come direct from employees! Operations improvements starts with 2 ears & 1 mouth used in proper proportion. Creativity should never be stifled, but rather evaluated across every department: Sales, Operations, H/R, Payroll, A/P, A/R, Credit /Collections, Warehouse, Marketing, CRM.
Enhancing Operations will save costs, improve lead times, reduce inventory, eliminate wasted steps, reduce accidents & ultimately grow profitability & employee retention. We look at burden cost absorption, supply chain optimization, out-sourcing, consolidating, eliminating & investing in assets that yield tax credits short term & improved productivity long run! It is critical to remain Open-minded!

Where is the Beef!
Is your primary focus top line (Sales) or bottom line (Profits)? It is almost like being left or right handed. Not many folks are ambidextrous.
The most common way to limit growth in a firm is focus on 1 key metric. Walls are far too common in organizations. None are greater than the Sales team Vs. every/any dept; Credit/collections, shipping, Operations, etc... These folks need to work together limiting walls.
Accountability is key! Both individually & as a team with a clear understanding of the goals. The reward sctructure is a huge driver as well when properly built / costed. Recognition & competition are also highly reccommended. "Coffee is for Closers!"
Share of Market is hard work! Increased Share of Customer can have a quick longer lasting impact that helps improve branding & proven reciprocating loyalty when properly channeled.
