Quality Initiatives
Is Your Company Ahead of the Game or Behind the Curve?
Are you totally satisfied with your current work process and believe that your customer satisfaction level is as good as it gets? Is the quality of your product or service merely acceptable or is it exemplary? What about your profit margin? Is there significant room for improvement in this area? If any of these questions cause you to stop and think, perhaps you should consider Process Improvement Initiatives from CPCC. Discover the keys to improving your bottom line with Six Sigma and Lean Methodologies!

Six Sigma = $avings
Six Sigma helped Motorola realize powerful bottom-line results and the company has documented more than $16 billion in savings. This methodology works not only on manufacturing business models, but across multiple business disciplines including call centers, customer support, and supply chain management to name a few.

"The increasing interest we are seeing in Six Sigma stems from two sources," says Dave Antis, executive vice president, Celerant Consulting. "First, as Six Sigma and its track record become more widely understood, more companies are considering it. Second, ..., a high percentage of other types of initiatives, although apparently successful, failed to fulfill their companies' strategic objectives."

Lean = $avings
Henry Ford stated, “If it doesn't add value, it's waste.” This is the basic premise underlying Lean. Lean is a methodology that is used to control and reduce the cost of any process – service or manufacturing – by removing waste, increasing speed and efficiency.

Most American companies today are pursuing Lean or Lean Six Sigma but few understand the critical other part: getting people involved. Hearing what employees have to say makes their work easier, more interesting and lets them build skills and capabilities through their own creative ideas. "Without empowering workers to participate in creative problem solving you will never be able to sustain improvement activities," says Norman Bodek, coauthor of the book All you Gotta Do is Ask. "How can you attain Six Sigma or zero defects unless everyone is part of the process?"
