At one distribution company, the team worked more than 60 hours a week, but orders were always delayed. "We need more staff," I was told. But when I reviewed the processes, I found a different problem: a lack of efficiency, not a lack of manpower.
Instead of hiring more people, we made three key changes:
🔸 Automation of repetitive tasks.
🔸 Redistribution of functions according to the team's strengths.
🔸 Elimination of unnecessary processes that slowed down the workflow.
The result: In just three months, the same number of employees reduced their workweek to 45 hours without affecting production and improving delivery times by 20%.
📌 More work doesn't mean more productivity. Sometimes, the key is to work smarter, not harder.
