6.1 Evaluate Every Task

Asking important questions will help you break down a task and examine it more effectively. Find the original source of the work first; where does it come from? Is it from a customer, the manager, or the vendor? This will help you understand the task’s nature and recommended approach.

Second, evaluate the process of that specific task. If it’s a work order for example; break down the process of how this task is managed by detailing each step: tally up the work order’s charges, input the data into the computer, hold it for the customer’s payment, etc. The development of a process is a crucial phase.

Next, choose how the work will be stored. Is it kept in a separate client file? Should it be kept in storage? It is simpler to develop a procedure, determine the type of person who is appropriate for the job, and better produce job descriptions and worker manuals through task assessment.
