Operational Efficiency

What We Do > Business Optimization > Operational Efficiency and Process Improvement

With a strategic operational assessment, your organization can operate resourcefully AND improve the customer experience at the same time.

The Integrated Insight Difference

Focus on the Customer Experience

An efficient operation uses analytics to reduce transaction time, eliminate bottlenecks, and optimize communication in order to reduce wait times, increase sales, and enhance the consumer and employee experience.

Concentration on the Employee Experience

Employees are great at finding work-around solutions and compensating for less than optimal systems. We identify their pain points to make their jobs more efficient, allowing more time directly spent with your customers.

Data Collection and Reporting

Along the way, we identify current information gaps as well as strategies to collect needed data. We develop reports and dashboards to facilitate ongoing monitoring and identification of issues.

Best Practices

We leverage decades of Disney experience to identify opportunities to apply industry best practices to any type of operation. We partner throughout the pilot testing and implementation phase of process changes to ensure smooth execution.

Our Approach

Discovery

We meet with key operators to understand current pain points in the process, observe the operation, and collect relevant data.

Analysis

We analyze the data collected onsite combined with historical data to quantify the impact of improved processes, renewed capture of lost sales, reductions in wait time, and fewer user errors.

Delivery

We provide tactical solutions ranging from minor operational adjustments to major investments such as facility or organizational changes.

Implementation of Disney’s Operations Command Center to Optimize Queue Times

Founding Integrated Insight partner, Joni Newkirk, led the Walt Disney World team that created the “Operation Command Center,” a team of industrial engineers tasked with improving the guest experience by tightening up operations and managing guest flow. The command center could spot issues before gridlock occurred. Ongoing monitoring and implementation of countermeasures enabled the Industrial Engineering team to identify enough throughput efficiency to improve average rides per visitor, and save the resort from having to immediately invest in another multi-million dollar ride to increase capacity.

Foundational Approaches to Achieve Operational Efficiency

Focus on foundational approaches to operational efficiency to avoid excess costs, unnecessary frustration for both customers and employees, and lower quality products or services. Often companies focus on “big picture” initiatives, resulting in company-wide standardization or major organizational changes. But there is always opportunity to make incremental progress by optimizing lower-level processes as well.
