Activity Elimination

  • Activity elimination is a technique used to streamline business processes by removing unnecessary or non-value-adding activities.
    • In a force-fit exercise, each activity in the business process is examined to determine whether it is essential to achieving the desired outcomes.

    • Activities that do not contribute meaningfully to the process or outcome can be eliminated or combined with other activities.

    • Steps:

      1. List all the activities involved in the process.
      2. Evaluate each activity’s contribution to the overall goal.
      3. Eliminate or modify activities that are redundant, inefficient, or non-essential.

Benefits:

  • Reduces waste by removing unnecessary steps.
  • Streamlines the process, leading to faster execution and lower costs.
  • Improves overall process efficiency by focusing only on value-adding activities.
