Ask HN: Rework in Large Companies

How do large companies like Google / Facebook / Amazon etc avoid rework by their employees? Is there a process in place?

For eg: A lot of data analysis is done every day resulting in interesting insights, for which answers may already exist, perhaps done by a different team / business domain, not shared cross-functionally or even if it is shared, hard to keep track of at such a large scale. Is there already a solution to this problem?

I think their solution is, at least in part, to be big enough and rich enough that they can afford the rework.

Agree!! but was hoping they would use some of that $$$ to improve employee efficiency
