Business Process Services.

Improving processes for better products and services with Lean principles and Six Sigma techniques.  Don't have the right resources to solve problems?  We've got you covered.
The truth is labor and material shortage issues are impacting everyone.  It is important to deal with them head on, but another important strategy is making your systems and processes more effective than your competitors.  Success often belongs to those who can outlast the competition.  
Here are few questions for business leaders to see if their processes are optimized:
  • Is there a productivity measure?  If there is one, is it over 90%?
  • Is there a yield measure?  If there is one, is it over 98%?
  • Is there an availability measure?  If there one, is it over 90%?
Congratulations if you have positive answers for all.  There are many organizations that fall in the category where measurement exists, but they struggle to identify projects or carry projects through implementation.  It is very often caused by lack of coaching and mentoring of existing talents.  Management has so many responsibilities, sometimes they don’t have time, or they may not be well equipped to provide coaching.  Using us as your trusted resource helping your team to break through can be the key to success.

Success Stories
​The factory had over 20 machines producing stock tank, storage shed, bench, tool box, etc.  Each machine already had a process monitoring unit installed and could download data remotely.  IT could download data and generate plant wide reports manually, but it took them a week to generate. 
After reviewing the situation, I launched a project to develop a database program.  A database was created to download data and generate a focus report regarding yield (scrap rate) and availability (unplanned downtime).  The cycle time to generate the plant-wide report dropped to less than 15 minutes due to the automation done by the queries in the database.
The report was refined to a single letter size page that each supervisor would generated at the end of shifts.  The consolidated report helped supervisors to pinpoint a few critical areas to investigate.  Supervisors received feedback about their actions within shifts instead of weeks!  Many problems were resolved way before they became costly issues.  The reality is the data was there, but there was no process to transform it into information for decisions and actions.  In three years, the plant wide scrap rate dropped from 10% overall to about 1%.
