For ultimate success, a business should run like a well-oiled machine. In order for that to be possible, there have to be systems and processes in place to keep things moving. It saves time and money, has you making fewer mistakes and keeps you from constantly reinventing the wheel.
A good example is the human body. The human body is the most magnificent machine there is. It is comprised of a number of automatic and autonomic systems that support its proper function. Each of these systems has a process that is carried out and all contribute to the function of the body and the body continues to function properly until one of those processes or systems is disrupted. Even when the time comes for transition, there is a process that takes place.
The same is true with your business. If you have established systems and processes for every area of your business, it runs like a well-oiled machine. Use of time is maximized and productivity levels are high. If not, things don’t run so smoothly. Time is wasted by those within the company; from the owner and top management on down the line and there are gaps that cause mishaps and poor customer experiences. All of which negatively impact your bottom line. What systems do you have in place to have your business run like a well-oiled machine?
