II. Problem Rule Assumption Breaking assumptions involved discarding assumptions that underlies the existing old system. In so doing, we started with the process problems which we collected from customers and stakeholders needs & expectations. We then discovered the specific rule responsible for instigating the problem. We also searched the assumptions behind the rules that help propagate drawbacks in the performance of the process. Finally, the reviewed the false assumptions arising the rule and justified them nature so that while redesigning we could start with free without any annihilating rules.
