Business Improvements

At manufacturing performance, we are committed to helping you improve your processes and achieve operational excellence. We use a systematic and data-driven approach that involves the following steps:

​

  • We identify and understand your current process, mapping out the inputs, outputs, activities, roles, and resources involved. We also identify the customers and suppliers of your process and their expectations and requirements.

  • We set clear improvement goals that are aligned with your strategy and vision. We use the SMART criteria to ensure that your goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

  • We involve all stakeholders who are affected by or have an influence on your process. We seek their input, feedback, and buy-in throughout the improvement project. We also ensure that they have the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to participate and contribute effectively.

  • We analyze data and measure performance to identify the current state of your process and the gaps and opportunities for improvement. We use various tools and techniques, such as histograms, Pareto charts, run charts, and scatter plots, to display and analyze the data. We also use key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor and evaluate your process performance.

  • We apply Lean and Six Sigma principles to improve your process efficiency, quality, and effectiveness. We use the DMAIC methodology (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) to guide our improvement efforts. We also use various tools and techniques, such as 5S, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke, FMEA, and DOE, to eliminate waste, reduce variation, and optimize processes.

  • We implement a continuous improvement culture that encourages and supports ongoing learning and improvement. We use the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act) to implement, test, and validate improvements. We also use the A3 report to document and communicate the improvement process and results.

  • We use technology and automation to enhance your process capabilities and performance. We leverage the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things, and cloud computing, to automate, integrate, and streamline your processes. We also ensure that the technology is compatible and compliant with your existing systems and standards.

  • We track and monitor progress to ensure that the improvement goals are met and the benefits are realized. We use dashboards and reports to display and share the progress and results of the improvement project. We also use control charts and SPC to ensure that the process remains stable and in control after the improvement.

  • We provide training and support to your teams to ensure that they are competent and confident in using the improved process. We use various methods, such as coaching, mentoring, e-learning, and workshops, to deliver the training and support. We also evaluate the effectiveness of the training and support and make adjustments as needed.

  • We foster collaboration and teamwork to ensure that your teams work together effectively and efficiently. We use tools and techniques, such as team charter, RACI matrix, and SWOT analysis, to define and clarify the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of your teams. We also use tools and techniques, such as brainstorming, affinity diagram, and nominal group technique, to facilitate idea generation and decision making among your teams.

  • We communicate and engage with your teams and stakeholders to ensure that they are informed and involved in the improvement project. We use various channels and methods, such as emails, newsletters, meetings, and presentations, to communicate and engage with them. We also use tools and techniques, such as feedback surveys, focus groups, and interviews, to collect and address their feedback and concerns.

  • We document and standardize processes to ensure that they are consistent and repeatable. We use tools and techniques, such as flowcharts, SOPs, and checklists, to document and standardize your processes. We also use tools and techniques, such as audits, reviews, and inspections, to ensure that your processes comply with the standards and regulations.

  • We embrace a culture of learning and innovation to ensure that your processes are continuously improved and adapted to the changing needs and expectations of your customers and stakeholders. We use tools and techniques, such as benchmarking, best practices, and lessons learned, to learn from others and improve your processes.
