Measure, measure, measure
If Busch has a mantra, it's measure everything.

And measurements are required both before optimization processes are in place and then again afterward, to make sure interventions are working, Busch says.
"Even if you succeed," he says, "you must have for all these succeeded processes continuous monitoring, otherwise one year later, you're in the old status."
