RAMMPP

What is it ?

RAMMPP is an easy-to-use chart that helps teams to recognize the ‘low hanging fruit’ in the clutter and inefficiency that sneaks into our daily activities.

RAMMPP allows the team to seize easy-to-do opportunities to help increase efficiency.

RAMMPP focuses attention on:

ü      Reports

ü      Approvals

ü      Meetings

ü      Measures

ü      Policies

ü      Practices

When is it used?

RAMMPP is used:

ü      To produce more time for individuals, teams and departments in organizations

ü      When burdensome bureaucracy and administration occurs

ü      To increase effectiveness and GET THINGS DONE  

Advantages

RAMMPP is:

ü      Easy-to-use yet very effective

ü      Creates necessary time for other matters

ü      Creates times for involved problem solving

ü      Team gets a feeling of a ‘quick win’

Pitfalls

ü      If ‘in department’ approach is adopted, ensure internal customers are in the loop

ü      Staying in a ‘functional silo’. This technique helps reduce waste across business processes

Process

ü      Before a meeting/occurrence ask individuals to think about what they are accountable/responsible for in relation to RAMMPP headings

ü      Bring the team together and explain RAMMPP chart

ü      Record the activities of the team, individual, department, company or external (Maximum of 5 for each individual to avoid overload)

ü      Populate the matrix

ü      Work down the matrix, on row at a time, and explore with the team what changes could be made to the way of doing things at the moment (Use the rating scale below)

ü      Capture agreements and commitments as you work through the matrix

ü      On completion, summarize the actions and set up a review date
