Identify minutes and even hours when professionals waste time. The deficit is often caused by problems in the work process itself..

Through the learning stage, clarity is given about what is expected of each employee and how to optimize the work without harming the quality of the products.
It is important to invest in workshops, courses, speeches, etc.
