Process
As a process improvement specialist, we start with ourselves. Our proven methodology can be adapted to any process, but will consistently uncover all potential savings. Any single step is available, but our process can only have maximum impact when allowed to flow from start to finish.
Initial Consultation
Before we problem solve, we must define the problem. We'll meet so we can better demonstrate what we offer and to understand what challenges you are seeking to resolve.
Systems Introduction
A system is it's people and processes. We take the time to learn how your system operates and how your culture weaves into it. This context is critical to a valuable analysis.
Process Analysis
Measure twice, cut once. By collecting data on material and information flow, we will map your existing process. Applying lean and quality control principles, your sources of waste now become identifiable.
Improvement Customization
Some waste is mandatory. We will present our analysis, findings, and recommendations to you. The decision for which actions to take will remain yours, you know your business and we only support improvements which fit your vision.
Improvement Implementation
It takes a village. We ensure proper implementation of the approved changes, but also drive your team's adoption of these changes. Using the principles of change management, these improvements will become the new norm.
Savings Verification
Continuous improvement is never ending. Your success is our success, so we don't stop at implementation. We continue to re-analyze your process performance in the following weeks, tweaking as necessary to guarantee expected returns are realized. We closeout with a process maintenance package for you to preserve standards at the level you need.
