Today
- One person who knows how the process really works
- The steps in their head, not written anywhere
- Work that stops or piles up when they are away
- New staff asking the same questions for months

Processes are inconsistent between people or teams
The same job is quoted, booked or invoiced differently depending on who picks it up. Customers notice, and so does whoever has to fix it later.
With Zerowait: the routine steps are the same every time because they are built into the process, with people stepping in for the exceptions.
Automate routine work. Keep important decisions human.
Routine steps run the same way every time. Judgement calls stay with your experienced people.
Routine steps run the same way every time, whoever is in that day. Judgement calls, unusual jobs and difficult customers still go to your experienced people; the process makes sure they get there.
Remove unnecessary work from people, not people from the process.
