Project Description
The right tools for the job
Providing your team with the right tools and techniques to achieve ever increasing levels of performance in an innovative and empowered environment.
Successful change
To be successful means having a baseline assessment and understanding of the need or opportunity and using this to craft a plan to improve performance. We customise our surveys based upon what your need is and based upon our experience can advise what world class methods will yield the best results with your plan in mind.
Site / opportunity assessment
To get an independent perspective of what opportunities you have from someone with a “fresh pair of eyes” to help you make the right targeted decisions on what needs to be improved.
Change management readiness assessment
“Fail to plan then plan to fail”. Having the right people involved in change is critical and this assessment identifies the right people with the right skills etcthat enable the right changes to happen. People don’t resist change but they do resist poorly planned change and that’s where we help in crafting and supporting your success.
High performance / engagement survey
Having engaged employees means productivity and growth. Recent statistics show that 35% of employees are not engaged and being productive. Our surveys identify some of the key areas to improve engagement and to achieve higher levels of performance.
Voice of the customer surveys
This is critical to the growth of your products and services.
Knowing what your customers changing needs are and their perceptions of your product or service enable changes in your offerings, better client retention and growth.
Inventory profiling and optimization
Inventory levels reflect the issues in your entire value stream.
Most companies buy as much inventory as they can to get the lowest price which ties up valuable cash flow, space and resources. We use data/models and lean supply chain methods to statistically optimize inventory levels which has yielded a 75% reduction and reduced stock outs.
Getting results – making change happen
(Training / Coaching)
Workplace
5S is a foundational method to engage employees in improving productivity and to create a workplace they can be proud of.
Process mapping
Process mapping is a tool and method that brings people together to identify the flow of the product or service. It helps with employee engagement, agreement and to plan improvements.
Visual workplace
Works alongside 5S to create a simplified and easy to understand workspace that your new employees and customers will appreciate.
Rapid improvement events
Kaizen events
Kaizen events are one of the most effective ways of driving rapid results and high levels of employee engagement, satisfaction and sustainability of change. We plan on a minimum of 50% improvement and typically achieve much more!
Events may be focused for example, on:
- business processes,
- rapid change over,
- preventative maintenance (TPM),
- order to cash cycle,
- Marketing,
- Sales effectiveness
- + more
Training and projects
Lean Six Sigma
White, Yellow, Green or Black Belt training/certification is the industry standard best practice for improving your business. We can provide on-line training, class room only or classroom and coaching to provide the maximum level of results. There are a lot of providers globally but only a few that share best practice in deploying this successfully. We have successfully driven rapid change with these methods for over 20 years globally and in most industries.
Growth
Lean Six Sigma was developed and deployed to support Sales, Marketing and new product development to grow your business. If you improve your business processes you create free capacity and without getting “growth” you fail to realize the financial opportunity.
Product / Process
Kanban is a term typically used for inventory but more recently in software design. They are both different and when implemented for inventory dramatically improves stock accuracy, availability and supplier agility to meet your needs. This is typically one of the success elements of your inventory profiling / optimization program.
Supplier Quality is critical to enable inventory and scrap reduction and by setting up the right measures and supplier support enables lower cost, less missed shipments to clients and better purchasing supplier selection decisions.
Lean Design is a method along with stage gate to dramatically accelerate time to market for your products or services. For every month faster to market is another month of income.
Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) is basically having high quality process, product or service designs. These kind of projects (either for existing or new) take out the aggravation of things not working properly. For known quality “in” you get predictable quality “out” so the intent is to have known “high quality in”.
