Effective resource management can turn around a company sinking in debt. The famous waste identification and elimination of delay times, redundant movements, redundant materials, optimisation of downtimes,... is one significant approach. These wastes maybe identified where the status quo is questioned and new ways of working are encouraged. But if 'Business is as usual' then it may be assumed to be so til the business is shut down!! People familiar with the system need to be encouraged to share their thoughts on improving the system.
