One rule of economics says we should waste what is cheap to save what is valuable. In your operations, what is most valuable? Labor? These materials, or those materials? Missed opportunity (leads)? Missed phone calls?
Of course we don’t want to waste anything, but we don’t want to spend $8 to save $4 either. What does labor cost per minute? Should we straigthen bent nails? (no). Should we send one guy into the dumpster to study what we are throwing out, reclaim it, and take steps to eliminate it in the future? Should we invest in that expensive phone system to save even more expensive phone calls (leads, sales) over the next 7 years? Should we invest in training?
Can you look at what is most valuable and being wasted and find ways to improve?
Lots of energy here ! 🙂 good morning CT!
