The 5Rs will help you work more efficiently and effectively, offering a structured way to analyse and improve processes. 

So, as you carry out your work today, think about this one simple question: is this process step delivering value to our end customer?  If the answer is no - however important or necessary it might be - it is still some form of waste which we should seek to eliminate or minimise, PMI Director Consultant Sean Buckland reminds us.
