Adjusting Sim Lanes
The second agenda item is to adjust the configuration of swim lanes to streamline the work. Sometimes this will even involve adding lanes or taking some out altogether. Some of these changes are little – such as rearranging how sales personnel help a forecast analyst adjust unit forecasts. Others are big. For example, transitioning an enterprise from corporate management of supply chain functions, which creates disconnects with and among business units, to a matrix that focuses corporate resources on Enable and work processes, while the business units focus on executing the signals. That woulds be a big change.
