Our Profit
Improvement Process model is unique because it
increases profitable revenue and supports innovation simultaneous
with cost reduction
A few examples:
- Over $5,000,000 in profits for a small business unit of a
large company
- In excess of $7,500,000 profits for the first year in a
continuous improvement program for a large company
- Doubled profits for a $20,000,000 business in less than a year
- Generated cost reduction and profit improvement projects worth
an estimated $15,000,000 per year with a mid-sized company
- Revitalized a 10-year old cost reduction program and more than
doubled the results in less than one year -
most of which came from new revenue
initiatives
Our Cost Reduction and Profit Improvement Consulting:
- Reduce costs quickly and effectively with high-impact working
sessions
- Generate new profits from new revenues
- Reenergize and existing cost reduction program
- Transition a Six Sigma, Lean, or Lean Six Sigma program
to the next generation of sustainable continuous profit
improvement
We Accelerate Profit Growth
Imagine for a moment what your company would do if:
- Your people came to you with solutions instead of problems.
- Collaboration was the order of the day rather than dissension.
- Profits were strong and increasing year after year.
Use a phased approach to test and refine profit improvement for
your organization
- We use a phased stage gate approach so you stay in control
- Your management team manages the testing and
refinement process
- We provide the time-tested guidance
- Test the training module and prove that it
works for you - generate projects
- Evaluate the process, the projects and
recommendations from the participants
- Refine the model to fit your organizational
culture, mission, vision and strategic goals
- Prepare a roll-out plan - one business unit;
one department at a time or broad scope
- This approach assures that the
process pays for itself and you are fully satisfied with the scope
and direction that your initiative takes
