In a claims handling process, each claim undergoes two consecutive tasks: "Determine liability" $($Task$-$D$)$ followed by "Assess claim and determine benefits"

$($Task$-$A$).$ According to claims handling policies, these two tasks must be performed by different employees.

Analysis of the process performance in the past six months reveals that Task$-$D leads to rejecting on average $3\%$ of the overall cases, while Task$-$A leads to rejecting on average $20\%$ of the remaining cases. If we aim to reduce cycle time without violating policies, which one of the following process enhancement patterns should we consider applying?

Delay

Eliminate

Integration

Re$-$Sequence
