Let workers perform as many steps as possible for single cases
Empower workers for more decision-making authority
If capacity is insufficient, consider increasing the available number of resources
Minimize numerical involvement
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Consider whether activities may be executed in parallel
Performance-based task assignment
Allocate tasks based on past performance: execution time and success
Experience-based task assignment
Delegate task according to experience: execution frequency, case involvement, interactions
Allocate task based on past feedback or quality metrics
Allocate task based on collaborative experience: handover time, interactions, diversity
If capacity is insufficient, consider increasing the available number of resources
