Reducing waiting times seems relevant too, but I believe the overall effectiveness and efficiency is what we should focus on in process design.

Developing processes with new improved controls sounds important, but I feel like it’s more of a secondary goal rather than the primary one.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Cutting costs through layoffs and reducing waiting times don't seem like the primary objectives of process design. I think I need to review my notes on this topic before answering.
