Direct Benefits for Your Investment
Whether your needs are in manufacturing, logistics, food service, pharmaceutical, healthcare or any other business where efficient operations are important, our Lean Six Sigma team helps you attain your next level of accomplishment. A sampling of results:
- Weeklong training sessions at three repair facilities yielded a 65% reduction in factory space, 37% lower headcount, improved ergonomics, 87% lower work in progress inventory, and 84% cut in product travel.
- An independent review of a new manufacturing facility design led to client savings of $6 million through building size reductions, a new manufacturing strategy and a new factory layout that connected processes.
- A yearlong program evaluating operations in 16 manufacturing buildings stretching across a city block produced more than $30 million in facility construction cost savings, along with a 92% reduction in material handling staff, an 89% cut in lead times, a 122% increase in effective hours of production, a 40% gain in overall equipment effectiveness, a 78% reduction in needed manufacturing floor space, and a 46% cut in machine part production costs. The team also reduced machine setup time from 2.5 hours to less than 30 seconds.
- Applying Lean Six Sigma principles to the design and construction of a new manufacturing facility led to a 65% reduction in headcount and a 95% lower work in progress inventory. It also reduced lead time from nine days to 2.5 hours.
