ImprovePlus Six Sigma Consulting

Six Sigma is a disciplined, fact-based approach for eliminating defects.  The word "sigma" is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection.  To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.  This means to achieve Six-Sigma we need to be nearly flawless in executing our processes.

The central idea behind Six Sigma is that it is possible to achieve near perfect products and services by reducing process variability. This is accomplished through the application of proven Six Sigma methodologies:

Employing Six Sigma methodology has a number of benefits that directly affect your bottom line:

   Satisfaction of strict customer requirements, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and retention.

   Cost reduction by reducing process variability and defects.

   Enhanced competitiveness through consistent quality.

   Employee "ownership" of improved processes

MSI focuses on your unique needs and objectives.  We will work closely with you to identify your high impact business processes that have the longest lead times and highest process variability.  We will determine how these business processes can be streamlined and improved to positively benefit your bottom line.   Our highly experienced Six Sigma Black Belt consultants work closely with you to identify projects that will yield "the most bang for the buck!"

ImprovePlus Lean Consulting

 

Management Systems International provides consulting and training services to organizations seeking to reduce process cycle time by eliminating waste out of manufacturing or service processes through systematic, measurable improvements.  At MSI, we tailor our proven ImprovePlus program to meet your unique Lean needs.

Lean principles are geared to improving process flow by eliminating waste.  Lean looks at business activities from the customer's perspective - activities for which customers are willing to pay.  In other words, Lean looks at business processes from the outside-in.  By understanding the transaction lifecycle from the customer's perspective, we discover what the customer is seeing and feeling and are able to identify areas where we can reduce waste and add value.

The MSI ImprovePlus program focuses on your unique needs, your objectives and your core competencies.  Our highly experienced consultants work closely with you to identify your weakest link and projects that can yield "the most bang for the buck."  For example, what key business processes have the longest lead times and how can these be streamlined?  In short, we identify critical processes whose continual improvement will positively benefit your bottom line!

Applying Lean principles has a number of benefits that directly affect your bottom line:

    Cost reduction by eliminating waste in key business processes.

     Enhanced competitiveness through reduced turnaround time in key services or manufacturing processes.

   Employee "ownership" of improved processes

Results of implementing Lean include a 50-to-90 percent reduction in lead times, and a 4-to-10 times reduction in inventory turns.  In these cases, operating costs are also reduced while competitiveness is enhanced.
