ISO: Focus On Two Areas

Updated: Sep 10


Two puzzle pieces
But the power lies in the depth of understanding and improvement of these two critical factors.

In the complex world of business management, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of metrics, objectives, and risk assessments.


But what if I told you that you could dramatically transform your organization by focusing on just TWO key areas? Let’s break it down:


Only TWO Measurements That Really Matter:

  1. Efficiency

  2. On-Time Delivery (OTD)


Only TWO Objectives to Pursue:

  1. 100% Efficiency

  2. 100% On-Time Delivery


Only TWO Risks to Mitigate:

  1. Inefficiency

  2. Late Deliveries


ISO: Focus on Two Areas

It sounds simple. But the power lies in the depth of understanding and focus on two areas.


Dissecting Efficiency: Why aren’t you 100% efficient? Dive deep into your processes. Are there bottlenecks? Redundant steps? Outdated technologies? By thoroughly analyzing every aspect of your operations, you can identify areas for improvement and streamline your processes.


Unraveling On-Time Delivery: What’s preventing you from delivering on time, every time? Is it supply chain issues? Production delays? Logistical challenges? Break down each step of your delivery process to pinpoint the weak links and strengthen them.


The Magic of Focus: By concentrating on these two areas, you create a ripple effect that touches every aspect of your business:

  • Improved efficiency leads to reduced costs and increased productivity.

  • Better on-time delivery enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty.

  • Both factors combined can significantly boost your competitive edge.


Implementing the Power of Two:

  1. Measure relentlessly: Track your efficiency and OTD metrics with precision.

  2. Analyze deeply: Don’t just look at numbers; understand the stories behind them.

  3. Improve continuously: Use the insights gained to make incremental improvements.

  4. Engage your team: Make efficiency and OTD everyone’s responsibility.
