Adopt the Audit Mindset: Seeing Operations with Fresh Eyes

Audits convert opinions into facts by tracing each claim to a data point, log, or observation. Replace “we think” with “we measured,” and invite teams to challenge numbers respectfully. Comment with your favorite evidence-gathering techniques.

Adopt the Audit Mindset: Seeing Operations with Fresh Eyes

Great auditors leave slide decks behind and walk the floor. Observing real work surfaces delays, rework, and workarounds that metrics hide. Share a moment when a shop-floor visit changed your audit findings completely.

Process Mapping That Exposes Bottlenecks

Use swimlanes to reveal ownership, delays, and rework loops. If one lane bulges with queues or approvals, you’ve likely found a constraint. Have you tried color-coding wait times? Share your legend ideas below.

Process Mapping That Exposes Bottlenecks

Measure how long work is actually touched versus waiting. Many audits find only minutes of value-add buried under days of waiting. What ratio did your last audit reveal, and how did you act on it?
Leading vs. Lagging: Balance for Real-Time Steering
Blend lagging results, like monthly cost, with leading signals, like defect alerts or queue spikes. Leading indicators let teams intervene early. Share one leading metric that helped you prevent a costly problem.
Cost of Poor Quality: The Invisible P&L Leak
Audits often uncover hidden rework, scrap, expediting fees, and warranty costs. Quantifying them reframes quality as a profit lever. How do you calculate cost of poor quality in your environment? Invite peers to compare approaches.
The Dashboard Sanity Test
Every chart should answer a question the team actually asks. If a graph never triggers action, remove it. What’s your rule for pruning dashboards after an audit? Share tips for keeping panels lean and useful.

Technology-Enabled Audits: From Logs to Insight

Event logs reveal actual paths, not the happy flow. Expect to find loops, rework, and rarely used branches clogging capacity. Have you validated a map with process mining? Share your biggest discrepancy discovered.

Technology-Enabled Audits: From Logs to Insight

Audits pinpoint repetitive, rule-based tasks ripe for automation. But design for exceptions, not just averages. Comment on one task your team automated and the exception playbook that kept service reliable.
