Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective use of resources and minimize activities that do not add value. There are a variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarify potential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly used workflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.

    • What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when, why, or where the step is executed?
    • What information is needed for the execution of this step?
  • Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?
