We use several tools and proven methods to help improve your organization's overall performance:

• Six Sigma
  Six Sigma is an integrated, disciplined proven approach for improving business performance. Six Sigma.us is a leading consulting and certification firm supporting companies implementing the Six Sigma Process by offering Six Sigma Training and Six Sigma Certification.
   
  DMAIC stands for Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve - Control. There is a step zero before you start and it is six sigma leadership.

  • Six Sigma is management methodology driven by data.

  • Six Sigma focuses on projects that will produce measurable business results. For example GE Capital saved $2 Billion in 1999 using Six Sigma.

  • Six Sigma is based upon improving processes by understanding and controlling variation, thus improving predictability of business processes.

  • Six Sigma is not just training. Each participant, called a "Belt" (either Black or Green) is required to have a leadership approved project prior to training.
     

• Five S
  A Five S program is usually a part of, and the key component of establishing a Visual Workplace. and are both a part of Kaizen -- a system of continual improvement -- which is a component of lean manufacturing.
   
  The Five S program focuses on having visual order, organization, cleanliness and standardization. The results you can expect from a Five S program are:

  • Improved profitability

  • Efficiency

  • Service

  • Safety
     

• The principles underlying a Five S program at first appear to be simple, obvious common sense. And they are. But until the advent of Five S programs many businesses ignored these basic principles.
   
  What types of businesses benefit from a Five S program?
  Everyone and all types of business benefit from having a Five S program.
   
  Manufacturing and industrial plants come to mind first, as those are the business that can realize the greatest benefits. However, any type of business, from a retail store to a power plant -- from hospitals to television stations -- all types of businesses, and all areas within a business, will realize benefits from implementing a Five S program.
