Episode description
In this episode, I discuss two acronyms to help you remember ideas on how you can improve a process.
ECRS stands for Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify.
SPACER stands for Standardize, Parallel processing, Automate, Consolidate, Eliminate and Re-arrange.
I also mention SCAMPER, which is similar to these, and stands for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Purpose, Eliminate and Reverse.
