Business Case 2 • Business Case E-files • - Overall goal: Increase overall efficiency with 15% • - Measurement: We measured 100 randomly picked shipments on the time of each print out. The result was 1,5 minute in average to print a document, this included all aspects from start to stop. - Analysis: When we got the total lead time we calculated how much time we would save if we attached the documents electronically. Average increase of efficiency was 15-20% - Implement: To be able to have this we implemented a system for handling the documents. - Control: Latest measurement was made in June 2010, 13% in average.
