A national pharmacy retailer is losing basket spend because online orders arrive late and customers complain about poor after-sales support. The chief operations officer holds a fortnightly review with inbound receiving, store operations, marketing, customer service, and purchasing and supply. They use a single shared dashboard that covers stock availability, picking accuracy, delivery time, returns turnaround, and service complaints. Each team must change one activity in the next two weeks to improve the end customer experience.
Which one of the following best describes the approach being applied in this scenario?
