An organization is mapping a value stream for an IT service. In the current map, the same activity is repeated multiple times. When identifying opportunities to remove waste from the value streams, it has been determined that several days could be removed from the delivery time by eliminating repeated work.
What is this an example of?
In DPI, value stream mapping identifies bottlenecks, redundancies, and delays. Eliminating repeated activities to save time is an example of workflow optimization (Option C). This reflects Lean principles embedded in DPI --- improving flow, reducing waste, and enhancing efficiency. Cascading goals (A), effective practices (B), and objectives for assessments (D) are unrelated to workflow waste elimination.
