Our approach · Lean Six Sigma
[ the short version ]
We walk the floor, build on the floor and execute on the floor, with your team from define through control.
01 / 05
Agree the problem
We agree the problem, the scope and the measure of success with the people who own the operation, then walk the floor with operators and supervisors to see where it actually shows up.
Output
A one-page charter: the problem, the scope, the owner and the measure of success.
| Phase | What you receive |
|---|---|
| DefineAgree the problem | A one-page charter: the problem, the scope, the owner and the measure of success. |
| MeasureWalk the floor and baseline it | A floor-validated baseline and a current-state value stream map. |
| AnalyzeFind the real constraint | The proven causes and a prioritized roadmap with owners and measures. |
| ImproveBuild and pilot on the floor | A tested working method, measured against the baseline, and the rollout carried out. |
| ControlMake the gain hold | Standard work, a control plan and an operation your team runs without us. |
[ Lean Six Sigma ]
We follow DMAIC, the Lean Six Sigma improvement cycle, to understand the problem, find the cause, improve the process and make the gain hold.
DDefine
Agree the problem, the scope and the measure of success with the people who own the operation.
Tools
MMeasure
Watch the work on the floor and record a baseline from real data, not from the plan.
Tools
AAnalyze
Separate the few causes that matter from the many that don't, and prove them with data.
Tools
IImprove
Design the change, pilot it on the floor and check it against the baseline before rolling it out.
Tools
CControl
Lock the new way of working in, so the result holds after we leave.

[ operating principles ]
We walk the routes, observe live shifts and listen to the people doing the work. Every design starts with the physical operation and its constraints.
Operators and supervisors help shape the change. We work through layouts, handling and task methods together so the roadmap fits the operation.
The pilot tests the method under real demand. We measure performance and refine the design with the team before rolling it out.
We stay alongside the team through rollout, training and performance reviews. Implementation finishes with clear controls and an operation the team can run consistently.

Congested storage. Slow picking. Stock that won’t stay accurate. Lines waiting for parts. Tell us what isn’t holding and we’ll tell you where we would start.
