Improve
quality while eliminating waste
A staple of top performing manufacturing spark
accelerated adoption of Lean and Six Sigma concepts to
transform their core business.
With foundations in the
manufacturing industry, to improve quality and
efficiency, Lean Six Sigma continues to be adopted
global by a host of companies and industries, but with
mixed results.
Lean Six Sigma is the combination of two philosophies:
Lean
Manufacturing, which eliminates waste,
and Six Sigma,
which improves maturity, quality and predictability in
execution. Together they can help companies realize
their full potential, transforming their performance -
faster, cheaper,
better. Despite its growing popularity
and impressive results, Lean Six Sigma often fails to
deliver expected results. A recent survey found that
65% failed to
achieve expected value, and
44% failed to gain any
competitive advantage.
Why is Lean Six Sigma failing to deliver on the
promise of value and efficiency?
Our experience across
industries and geographies has revealed that the root
cause is "company culture". Many companies do not
incorporate the organizational change aspect needed to
deliver the enduring Lean Six Sigma benefits.
As a result of our experience, WGA has developed an upfront change
assessment that enables companies to address these
cultural change issues and to identify which
opportunities will have
the quickest results
with the least amount of resistance. |
