About Us

We use the Six Sigma approach to identify potential wastes in customers’ supply chains to help them save time and eliminate unnecessary expenditure.

Where most large businesses hire a team of Six Sigma trained personnel to conduct a full supply chain analysis, our Six Sigma trained sales staff offer free consultations to businesses nationwide.

Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organisation follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce labour, improve lead times, and increase profits.

When we’re approached by a new business looking to improve their business processes, in our first consultation we discuss what Six Sigma refers to as the ‘8 Wastes of Lean’:

1. Transport – moving people, products and information
2. Inventory – storing parts and documentation ahead of requirements
3. Motion – bending, turning, reaching and lifting
4. Waiting – for parts, instructions and equipment
5. Over production – making more than immediately required
6. Over processing – using tighter tolerances or higher grade materials than necessary
7. Defects – damage, scrap and incorrect documentation, and
8. Skills – under-utilising capabilities and delegating tasks with inadequate training.

By using a Six Sigma approach we can utilise skills that most businesses pay significantly for as a consultancy service to identify areas of waste in their supply chain.
