Workflow & Risk
Workflow losses are real, lead to adversarial relations, and are difficult to quantify, so…
Everyone protects themselves by adding contingency and/or holding back labor to keep utilization high.
This further reduces workflow predictability and increases project risk.
By their/our actions, we increase that risk and shift it along.
LCI Education
& Training
1. Traditional planning systems are unable to produce
predictable workflow.
2. Workflow reliability directly affects system speed and cost.
3. All plans are forecasts, all forecasts are wrong, the longer the
forecast the more wrong it is, the more detailed the more wrong
it is.
