"I'm all about system implementation for how I do things. In my last job, they asked me to take over ordering supplies. I always made sure I kept a running total of what we had in stock but also forecasted the next three days and how long it would take our orders to arrive. I made sure I had a total number at the end of the order. I would then add up all the running totals to ensure all numbers matched and that there were no mistakes. Mistakes had been an issue in the past but when I ran this area, orders were error-free. The person who took over the ordering from me adapted my system, and eventually, it became a standard. But that is just one example of many where my systems to check and balance my own work ended up adopted to the entire team as a standard."
