It is all about customizing a LITE version of Process Improvement Framework (PIF) for your organisation and to coach & equip employees with right skill-sets to work on various productivity improvement projects.
Our 8-STEPS Process improvement Framework is a series of actions which an organization undertakes to increase the productivity and improve capability of their employees’ skill-sets to identify, analyze and improve existing business and / or operational processes to meet new goals and objectives such as reducing defects, improve throughput yields, reducing costs and accelerating delivery performance to achieve customer satisfaction. These actions often follow an 8-STEPS process improvement framework which aligns to DMAIC methodology to increase its effectiveness. The 8-STEPS Process Improvement Framework (refer to diagram) addresses the following questions. With the help of SiPi’s consultant, companies’ management, staff & employees will be trained to utilize such framework.
- Define – What is important? Identify opportunities & scope of project issues.
- Measure – How we’re doing? Establish baseline performance, analyze current process & develop the desired outcome.
- Analyze – What is wrong? Identify root causes & propose solution.
- Improve – Fixing what is wrong; Prioritize, Plan, Test & Refine proposed solutions for implementation.
- Control – To pledge for performance; to measure progress & hold gains and to acknowledge project team performance, share & communicate results.
