How can you make sure that your company will stay productive and efficient all the time? The secret is to constantly improve its operations and processes. Not only once or twice a year, or every time it is necessary. If you focus part of your efforts and resources on always looking for new ways to improve the current productivity of your processes, you will achieve many things.
Owning and managing a company isn’t easy, and it turns to be even more difficult when there’s a lot of processes to deal with in the production cycle to provide the client the product it requires. However, if you want a piece of advice, consider using Lean Six Sigma as the main methodology in your business. And in our company, Maximum Potential, we can help you to understand and implement it without problems.
We provide Lean Six Sigma Consulting but also, Training, for anyone interested in start using it as the main method to improve processes, performance, and every operation in the company. But before that, you’re probably wondering what it is all about.
Lean Six Sigma is the key to improvement
If you’re trying to achieve the results we mentioned before: constant improvement and being more productive, this methodology is the right one. It comes from the term “Lean” and the Kaizen methodology, which is Japanese.
Lean refers to a term in business that consists of offering the client more and better services while using fewer resources in the processes or operations. And the Kaizen method focuses on improving processes continuously, which is why both of them are perfect together and created this whole methodology.
Now, to be more specific, Lean Six Sigma is all about following the previous concepts of Lean and Kaizen, but something that characterizes it is that you won’t be adding new aspects or things. Through it, you will prioritize the client’s requirements and make sure to eliminate all the waste and aspects that interfere which each process.
It may sound a bit complicated, but you will see how easy it is when you start learning a bit more with our experts in the area.
Is there a better way to understand the methodology?
First, you must know that the only instruments and tools you will need when implementing it will be your statistics, data, and information. After all, you will determine the problems in your company and the aspects that need to be eliminated or solved, through this information. Now, what does this have to do with understanding it better?
There’s an extra instrument we like to implement and help companies to use since it is quite good when it comes to showing the differences in the production when you implement the method or not. This instrument is called Lean Value Stream Mapping, and it consists of drawing all the processes, the entire production cycle, identifying each waste or problem in the processes, and having a closer look at them. Once this is done, the next task is to draw another map but without the waste and problems that affect the processes, and this is going to be your objective from now on: getting to this point.
