We should STOP! Evaluate the process itself (Value Stream Mapping), highlight where the "waste" is and eliminate it. New processes might raise, form this exercise that will make our original process more efficient by simply reducing waste.
So true, transparent and obvious...though invisible. And we manage to miss it.
