Musing
Once a process has been identified for study, setting up a project as outlined in the paper above should be quick, completed within a few hours.  We don't address costs, potential savings, time frame...yet, because it is premature.  We'll prepare a detailed process map over the course of a few hours (or a few days with a large project), then let the process map help us replace what would have been guesswork about time, costs and savings with accurate estimates.  What do you think?
