We focus on results which the organization wants to realize as measured from a customer, productivity, top-line growth, net income improvement, or employee culture skill shift.
For the Novice Six Sigma organization who is contemplating or beginning a Six Sigma implementation we will focus on implementation strategies and suggestions for use of the consultants/firms, tools and strategy which will best match your organizations skill set, products and/or services.
There are also often many times when a particular issue/problem needs to be fixed in an organization ranging from re-structuring, individual product service problems, new system implementation (i.e. SAP), a major customer dissatisfaction issue, and etc. However, the organization may not be at the level to deploy Six Sigma due to various organization issues but still has to fix a particular problem. We will assist these companies or functions or facilities for a one-time fix to alleviate these major losses and etc. through providing temporary experts from the vast array of reserves available in the Six Sigma consulting world.
APPROACH
Many organizations and consulting firms claim to be implementing Six Sigma but are not delivering the desired results and they do not have the skill sets to deliver the desired results.
A true test of an organization/consultant claiming to be implementing Six Sigma is to check for the following financial results:
10% Profit Improvement
20% Cost Improvement
10% Top-Line Growth
20% Capital Avoidance
20-30% Improvement in Customer Satisfaction
20% Free Capacity
Note: These improvements are annual levels of improvement
It is often difficult to have an organization stay focused based on the following business issues which rapidly change.
Performance Improvement Business Issues of Today
§ Market Share
§ Competitiveness of the World
§ Cost Pressure
§ Globalization/Reorganization
§ Acquisition/Divestiture
§ Numerous "Changing" Objectives Yearly
§ Difficult To Get An Organization Focused or To Stay Focused
Numerous tools and systems are being utilized by organizations today around the world. A true measure of the success or correct use of these tools is a productivity measure. Productivity is a balanced measure of overall competitiveness.
Productivity Improvement
Productivity is a balanced measure of competitiveness.
Many tools/systems are available today to drive productivity:
§ Supply Chain Management
§ Distribution/Logistics
§ Facilities Management
§ Computerized Programs/Systems
§ Shared Services
§ Restructuring
§ Strategic Out-Sourcing
None of the above on a stand-alone basis can deliver 5% productivity annually. Six Sigma can and has driven 5% productivity annually.
The important aspect is to be able to map the business issues to the tools required and still drive Six Sigma without it being viewed as another tool. Six Sigma is an all encompassing skill and culture shift for an organization to utilize.
Six Sigma Solutions understands this and has successfully provided the guidance to achieve maximum organizational profitability.
