It is with great pleasure to present Learning About and Identifying Waste in Offices to all types of organizations to further provide assistance to not only reduce wastes (and costs), but at the same time improve the cost, quality, and delivery of products and services. While your organization is likely aggressively using a variety of ways to improve processes and reduce costs, we believe that learning about and identifying wastes in this format will assist this endeavor.
