Problem Statement:
The process between two different departments was colliding, preventing them from having an efficient workflow. This resulted in wasted time trying to figure out data and poor communication with vendors, ultimately affecting overall productivity.

Solution:
A process improvement initiative was implemented to streamline and align the processes between the departments. During a collaborative meeting, the full process was documented with both department holders to identify where data was being lost in translation. A proposal was then made to create a data management system to share information more efficiently.

Savings of Time and Money:
The implementation of the data management system significantly reduced the time spent searching for data, leading to faster and more efficient workflows in both departments. Additionally, communication with vendors improved, which helped prevent delays. This optimization initiative resulted in considerable time savings, improving overall operational efficiency across the teams involved.
