A Common Sense Systems practice
Your people are busy. Is the work moving?
Waiting, delays, rework, pile-up, and too much WIP. The question is whether the work itself is moving, not whether people are occupied.
Recognizable problems
- Everyone is busy, and the work still sits.
- The same rework comes back every week.
- Dates slip even when the calendar is full.
- Too much is started. Almost nothing finishes.
- Handoffs wait. Owners are overloaded.
- A project that should have shipped is still open.
What I can help with
- See where work waits between people and steps
- Cut too much WIP so finishing can happen
- Reduce rework loops that eat the week
- Stabilize missed dates without a bigger headcount
- Get a stuck project moving again
Why Common Sense Systems
Common Sense Systems, Inc. has operated since 1996. John Sambrook works with owners when the work is not moving. This page is not a methodology course.
We look at waiting, rework, and pile-up in the actual operation. You leave knowing whether I can help, not with a new vocabulary.
