Our Approach to Problem Solving and Planning
Our internal quality assurance practices ensure that the initial planning phase and recommendations of the project address the following:
-
good value for your money
-
recommendations that focus and fit with project and operational objectives
-
a strategy to manage risk
We clearly define project objectives and ensure these objectives stay in focus as we proceed.
Our strength is the ability to look at operational problems from several angles – Staffing and scheduling, process flow, work methods, quality and accuracy, management systems, equipment, facilities, economic return on investment, vendor relationships, and customer requirements. This combination of skills increases the avenues for operational improvement, and ensures that all bases are covered for a successful implementation.
We take the "Lean Thinking" approach to reduce non-value work and cycle time, and always look for inexpensive processes, methods or scheduling changes prior to investigating solutions requiring significant capital expenditures.
We help customers remain agile by looking for flexible, low-cost and high-value solutions, and our design, implementation and project management steps are influenced by the “Six Sigma” philosophy.
We Work with you to develop a substantiated plan that meets your operational goals, and ensures your dollars are well spent by:
-
Listening and defining your operational performance goals first
-
Measuring and comparing current performance to desired goals and the causes of the gaps.
-
Developing alternative operational processes to meet or exceed performance goals.
-
Introducing best practices and proven equipment and technology that support the process, budget and performance goals.
-
Providing a comprehensive budget and return on investment analysis and risk assessment to select and substantiate the best option.
-
Ensuring that the plan is feasible, realistic, and economically viable before going forward with detail design and implementation.
-
Setting up site visits for you to see other companies that may use similar solutions.
