Efficiency: Process Optimization


''Efficiency is herein defined as producing a result without waste — as measured by a comparison of production with cost (as in energy, time, and money).''

Process Optimization
The goal of process optimization is to identify and eliminate Waste (Defects | Transportation | Overproduction | Time | Processing | Movement | Inventory) and Constraints (Physical | Policy | People-related).

A “Process” is a series of actions or operations (steps), followed in a regular definite order (procedure), conducing to an end.

Our large-scale “Process Optimization” approach uses “Five 'S'” to prepare for optimization:
  • Sorting (Separate out things that are not necessary — eliminate them or put them away)
  • Simplifying (Arrange resources so that they can be quickly and easily accessed and put away)
  • Sweeping (Keep physical and information environments clean)
  • Standardizing (Make cleaning and organizing practice; inject practice into all processes)
  • Self-Discipline (Standardize the previous four steps and constantly improve them)

Our large-scale “Process Optimization” approach uses “Lean Analysis” to identify and eliminate Waste:
  • efects (Errors in Deliverables — Software, Hardware, Documents, Parts, Products, . . . )
  • Transportation (Unnecessary Transport of Deliverables and/or Resources — Documents, Parts, . . . )
  • Overproduction (Performing Unrequired and/or Unrequested Work)
  • Time (Waiting for Approvals, Resources, and/or Processing)
  • Processing (Unnecessary Process Steps and/or Approvals)
  • Movement (Unnecessary Movement of Resources within Process Flows)
  • Inventory (Backlog of Resources, Parts, Products, Capacity, . . . )

Our large-scale “Process Optimization” approach uses the Lean Manufacturing “Theory of Constraints Analysis” approach to identify and eliminate Constraints
  • Physical Constraints (Predispositions & Limitations regarding Physical Resources and Processes)
  • Policy Constraints (Predispositions and/ or Limitations regarding Policy and/or Regulation)
  • People-Related Constraints (Predispositions and/ or Limitations regarding Behaviors of People)

Our small-scale “Process Optimization” approach Identifies, Organizes, and the Manages Relationship between:
  • People (Opinion Leaders | Social Connectors | Polity | . . . )
  • Processes
  • Information
  • Material Resources
  • Cultures

Sunyata Initiatives


  • H-S-L Practice

    The goal of human relationships optimization is to manifest compassion in the world as per the insight of His Holiness The14th Dalai Lama that — "Everyone needs and wants to be Heard, Seen, and Loved (H-S-L) — in that order"


  • Information Optimization

    The goal of information optimization is to increase the levels of “meaning” by driving from lower states to higher states of meaning structures


  • Process Optimization

    The goal of process optimization is to identify and eliminate Waste (Defects | Time | Transportation | Overproduction | Processing | Movement | Inventory) and Constraints (Physical | Policy | People-related)


  • Technology Optimization

    The goal of technology optimization is to identify and and/or develop, and use small- and large-scale tools in the form of models, processes, methods, and devices — to eliminate waste and constraints


  • Green Economy

    Architect and collaboratively implement a social movement that transforms individual and collective "Consciousness", lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology — from a "Consumer" orientation to an economic "Net Provider" of food, energy, water, and wellness


  • Integral Wellness Group

    The goal of the Integral Wellness Group is to increase overall wellness in individuals, organizations, and populations; manage healthcare costs; and increase happiness and productivity


  • Radiant Networking

    Radiant Networking, inspired by Indra’s Net, is a gift exchange, honoring, supporting, and amplifying the life force in any situation, relationship, or place on the planet


  • Festivale

    "Festivale" is a cultivated field effect in which we find ourselves in each other — 'I come to get "Me-Us”' (I come to find me as I come to find you). Ultimately our intention is to manifest the field of “Festivale” in every interaction and in every place
