Hi Bob,
I would like to join the calls...!!
Actually, I would be very interested in Lean Six Sigma applications in the office environment. I just talked to a huge brokerage firm about improvement, but I must admint, I don't have any "real" experience in implementing Lean in such an environment, even if I think I could get it at least started.
Anyhow, Good Job Bob, all you support!!
Thanks
Juergen Boenisch

The trick is to look at the transaction processing as a production unit. I can follow the flow of the transaction just like a physical piece of inventory.
I think a major difference is "checking." I usually don't like QA checks everywhere on the production line. A form of muda. I must perform a lot of field checking (i.e. data field greater than zero, valid account number.) in a financial transaction.
That said, if I'm clever, I only check it once. And, I try to minimize manual entry/re-entry whenever possible.
