JVS Offers Success Via Six Sigma
 
JVS sees Six Sigma Quality as the key to success in today's competitive world, and offers excellent opportunities through customized grants to develop an effective program for individual companies.  Six Sigma Professionals work on process improvement teams using the DMAIC Approach (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) to eliminate defects, improve throughput, and reduce costs. 
 
JVS has successfully trained hundreds of employees on Six Sigma over the last several years, helping them improve their processes and their bottom line.  While results vary, a well executed Six Sigma Project can result in savings of $100,000 or more.
 
Training typically starts with an "Introduction to Six Sigma" followed by a "Six Sigma Green Belt" course involving a practical project for more advanced employees.  Training sometimes even takes key employees to the Black Belt level, under the guidance of JVS instructors.
 
Six Sigma projects facilitated at JVS client companies include: Total Reorganization of the Finishing Department Using Lean Six Sigma Tools, Improvement of Credit Card Finished Reel Rewind Process Quality and Throughput,  Improved Revenue, Throughput, Space, Equipment, Workforce Utilization and Order Fulfillment through Realignment of the Cluster Pick Area, 5S Housekeeping for Workplace Organization and Related Lean Practices in a Busy Warehouse,  Reduction of Material Breakage During Production Processes, Reduction in the Number of Non-Chargeable Service Calls, and Reduction of Damage to Executive Desks in a Distribution Center.  
 
Six Sigma can help your company reduce waste, improve efficiency and increase profit.  Contact JVS for more information.
