As a manager, part of my job is to set policies and procedures. As a rule I take the approach that the end result is more important than the means of getting there. That being said, if I see an employee doing something in a manner that is inefficient or wasteful, I will try to show them how a different way might be better.
It's only in instances where safety is involved that I expect a specific procedure to be followed.
When I was a teenager I worked for KFC. I can tell you that many of the procedures for preparing products were cumbersome and inefficient. While I can understand the reasoning behind wanting every single person to follow the exact same procedure to ensure consistency, I know for a fact, the customer would not notice if the chicken was rolled in the breading 5 times or 10 times. But I do know the customer would notice if they had to wait a little longer for their food because the cook had to follow the procedure to the letter.

No. Breaking the rules to increase efficiency also effect safety, quantity, and quality. A humans personal safety comes first above even the job.

If increasing efficiency is the only "side effect", then yes. Otherwise, I would have the weigh benefit against any cost...

Well danny,
I don't break them as such, because that would be a breach of the code of conduct -but sometimes I forget to cross every T and dot every I.
Being as old as I am I do get forgetful about some things some times.
Now where was I ..... oh yes .... time for my nap
G'night

Rock the boat....point out flaws in the processes...make & hold people accountable for the jobs they're supposed to do...carbon copy their managers on the notes when pointing out improvements thay could make.

Never anything safety related.

Yes, and my employer would recognize it and applaud me for my efforts.

Because individuals are greedy.
