A process that is performed on a daily basis which was used for a process design was preparing for work in the morning. There are different factors that affected this process design. Time and the tasks which are being performed play the key roles in determining what and how to improve this process design. The task in this process included waking up, taking a shower and essential restroom duties, ironing clothes to wear for work, cooking breakfast, getting dressed, and leaving for work. In this process design which was being evaluated, time was calculated in minutes. The operation viewed was the amount of time it took to get out of the bed and leave home for work. Multiple tasks contributed to the amount of time spent from the first process to the final process. The following charts were used to compare the initial process and time it took to leave home for work and the time it took to leave home for work after the process was calculated and changed.
Data Collected
Initial Process

In the first chart all the numbers represent the original everyday process and amount of time it took and in the second chart the numbers reflect the time it took after a process of elimination. When eliminating some elements or task that caused a bottleneck or were time consuming and could be rearranged, there was a positive affect on the process design. The minutes it took in the initial process decreased.
