Process and Controls
What is it?
Businesses put in place processes to enable them to take something they do and replicate it on a large scale in a consistent way. Controls are tools that you add to processes that make sure everything runs smoothly.
Why is it important for small businesses?
Building processes is all about setting up your business to be able to grow without being effected by the growth itself. Any business can ensure product quality and consistency when you're able to inspect every product and talk to every customer. When your business grows beyond what you can immediately control the only way to ensure quality and consistency is by putting in place solid repeatable processes and controls.
How do you do it?
Putting a good process in place starts with understanding the current process in every detail and then building a simple repeatable process that mimics what you do today.
