Business Excellence
Results That Matter to Shareholders and Customers
Less than a quarter of all
companies reported achieving significant progress towards world
class.*
*Industry Week Magazine, “2007 Survey of
Manufacturers”
Despite wide implementation of Lean[1] and Six Sigma programs, few companies make significant progress towards their business excellence goals. Many organizations move from one program to the next with the “flavor of the month” syndrome. Remember Total Quality Management, Quality Circles, Process Reengineering, Theory Z and the Learning Organization? Your organization may still suffer from product quality issues, late deliveries, or high operating costs; with the resulting poor financial performance. You’re still not where you want to be on your journey to “world class.”
Changing your business excellence emphasis from one focused on programs and methods to one focused on generating results, will create the progress you are looking for.
Our model for Business Excellence, TLS (Theory of Constraints, Lean, Six Sigma), is the strategic use of the tools of the Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma. It’s not a set of tools, although we use tools, any more than a set of screwdrivers is a design for a toaster. We use the tools to create results, just like we use screwdrivers to build toasters. But even that is the means to the end; toasted bread. Using TLS you can create the results that matter to customers and shareholders:
- Lead Time reduction to increase your sales
- Cost reduction to improve your competitive position
- Process improvement to deliver on time and make you the reliable supplier of choice
- Capability improvement to create ongoing improvements wherever they’re needed
- Quality improvement to make your products more attractive and sell more
We help you achieve your business excellence and improvement goals.
When we work on a project, our clients are typically the beneficiaries of at least a 10 fold return on investment. Their results prove it.
