ORGANIZE! GET THOSE PESKY DETAILS UNDER CONTROL!
Well, the details are important...how you get things done can mean the difference between having a doable schedule or not.
Here are two main categories:
1. Record keeping
2. Work Processes
Under record keeping (some examples):
- Expenses, accounts payable
- Cost of goods sold
- Tax records
- Sales, accounts receivable
- Employee records, if needed
- Vendor info
- Customer info
Under work processes (some examples):
- Unit output per time
- Listing time frames for ordering supplies
- Quality control measures
- Work area efficiency status
- Training measures, if needed
- Would you still like to create your product even if all these details put you into a slump?
Our goal at earth citizen design is to help you get set up so that there is less stress in your day.
Everyone's work space is different, and you may not have much room, but there are many guides to making the most out of the space that you have.
What we can do is to go over your workflow and figure out the documents or checklists that are needed at particular points. The goals are to increase your quality control, manage data so that it goes where it needs to go, and have it "spit out" on demand.
Being organized is "like gold"; reducing effort and stress.
It's easier to take care of this before your actual launch, but it's never too late to expedite your system. Another pair of eyes always see more. Enjoying your work is a blessing!
Below is a testimonial from one of our clients:
"After talking with us about how we do our orders, Colleen created a web order process flow. We now use an Excel order form/packing slip (with macros) to ship and track our internet orders. This year we are building a warehouse and need to have a real inventory system in place.
Colleen researched bar code scanners, and came up with one we could afford and that would do what we need. She programmed the scanner and met with our Quickbooks consultant so everything would work together. Colleen also created a database that would better manage some information than Quickbooks. I'm very happy with what she did for us, it will certainly make life easier!." Carl W.
