A dramatic and obvious improvement in Sales, Throughput or Lead Times increases cash flow and, often, market share. It also keeps employees excited and supportive throughout the program.
An improved business strategy can lead immediately to higher Sales as we help you position your business in a competitive "sweet spot."
Our approach to Operations is to focus early and consistently on single piece or small lot flow to dramatically shorten Lead Times, and to see that the bottleneck processes are addressed to quickly boost throughput. This approach yields results more quickly, and lowers the risk of losing employee support before they can see real results. Ancillary concepts such as 5S, SMED (changeover time reduction), Visual Management and many Six Sigma statistics-oriented tools are introduced only when they directly support the quest for lower lead time or higher throughput.
