Continuous Improvement Projects
What Is It?
We partner with you to tackle specific process pain points using Lean Six Sigma and other proven improvement methodologies. This can range from a full-fledged improvement project spanning several months, to a one-day Kaizen workshop that jumps straight into solutions. Together, we’ll streamline the way you do things, eliminate waste, and solve the problems that have been slowing you down.
Who It's For:
- Teams plagued by a specific process that is too slow, error-prone, or frustrating – for instance, an approval that takes forever or a report that always needs corrections
- Managers who know “something’s broken” in the workflow but don’t have the bandwidth or expertise to dedicate to fixing it in-house
- Departments looking to demonstrate quick wins and build morale by showing staff that their improvement ideas can be turned into action
- Any group that values efficiency and wants to actively engage employees in making their own work better (CI projects are a great way to involve front-line staff in decision-making and innovation
