2. Tracking and benchmarking triggers the improvement process
   1. If you want to improve something you have to measure it
      1. “What gets measured, gets managed.” – Peter Drucker

   3. Establish benchmarks and work as a team to improve
3. Start with the fundamentals and go from there
   1. If you do the first two things properly, productivity will naturally improve
   2. Make further strides by working with your teams and setting clear expectations of improvement
