- SOPs must be 'living documents' updated as team feedback and new tools change the workflow.
- Identifying the 'constraint' involves finding the step with the longest lead time in the workflow.
- Static SOPs lead to 'process drift' where the team ignores the manual to use more efficient methods.
- Identifying operational bottlenecks
- SOPs as living documents
- The 'Stop' category targets legacy tasks that no longer provide measurable business value.
