Closing Process Optimization Framework using ECRS
Problem AnalysisThis is a method to streamline operations and accelerate closing by organizing current tasks through four perspectives—Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify—to strip away waste.
This is ideal for clarifying "tasks to stop" or "tasks that can be simplified" in order to break through the current status of 10 business days.
