Consistency allows even the worst process to become familiar enough to be improved on and reduces the overload of having to context switch unexpectedly, and it's amazing how much time can be wasted by people not knowing what process to use and having to either waste someone else's time to find out or do whatever their best guess is, probably wasting time much later on.
