How can we help your business?
PROCESS SEQUENCING
Problem: All work was scheduled and completed simultaneously instead of in a deliberate sequence.
Solution: We outlined the process, prioritizing critical tasks early to avoid rework and identify major concerns first.
Impact: Reduced process days to stable level and mitigated unscheduled work to nonexistent levels as issues were
identified early and worked while the process completed.
ANALYTICS OF QUALITY
Problem: A law firm had quality issues with their outgoing letters but didn’t know where or how to address the problem.
Solution: After two audits of small samples, errors were categorized to determine the most common issues.
Impact: Management took deliberate action working with their staff for grammatical errors, attacking the biggest problem first.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Problem: A 3D printer routinely malfunctioned, wasting material and time completing projects. We found the root cause to be contamination in the feeding line.
Solution: Replaced the unit with a closed loop system as the current system was outdated to current technology.
Impact:
Reduced project time by 78.7% and material waste by 43.7%, saving nearly $200 per project. The cost of the equipment upgrade was recovered within two months.
EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT
Problem: A law firm had difficulty identifying how to determine bonuses and raises for staff.
Solution: Quantified efficiency of employees based on hours given to generate letters and days waiting completion.
Impact:
Company used quantifiable metrics to proportionately reward employees while also finding the best practices and other areas of improvement.
