If you’re looking for options or methods to improve your company’s performance, maybe you should think about what you need to improve in specific. Saying “performance” entails many aspects and elements of your company, which means you have to know what you want to do, one at a time. If you want a recommendation from a company itself that has also helped many companies to drive improvement from top to bottom in their performance and operations, here it goes: start with your processes.
Especially if you’re a company that is involved with products. Improving your processes already means you’re working in its performance since the more productive or efficient you are in them, the more you can offer to your clients and the perspective about your company changes. And you can achieve this by doing something as simpler as solving problems and eliminating all waste in each process.
At Maximum Potential, we can help you to make this idea a reality since there’s a method that is perfect for this: Lean Six Sigma. It is all about improving processes—continuously—and ensuring that the company’s productivity and its profit, increase.
Where did this method come from?
The history of Lean Six Sigma is long, and you might find several versions of it. However, if there’s something you need to know is that it isn’t new and the only reason why you probably haven’t heard about it is that you were focused on other methodologies. Now, to make it simple, it comes from the term “Lean” and the Kaizen methodology that, Motorola—the company—, used as the main principle.
Lean refers to providing the customer or client with better services and, in this case, with better products, while using fewer resources. In simpler words, improving production, and reducing costs. The Kaizen methodology focuses on “continuous improvement of the processes”, which means that it isn’t about improving them when it seems necessary but rather all the time.
Following this, Lean Six Sigma usually aims for processes that are carried out for people or your employees, which is why you will notice that all waste is eliminated from these—mostly. And to be honest, in these processes is where you find waste the most. Such as defects, overproduction, unused talent, unnecessary actions or activities, and so on. It may sound a bit complicated, but once you understand the principles, everything turns to be much easier.
