Through our unique
background of experience, education, and training we are able to use the
complementary disciplines of product and
process innovation, market analysis
and consumer research, with Lean 6
Sigma operational efficiency methods together to produce results that are
exponentially better than what could be achieved through the use of only one or
the other of these disciplines.
What makes the disciplines
of product and process innovation, market analysis and consumer research, and
Lean 6 Sigma operation efficiency improvements complementary ?
The three disciplines have
multiple intertwining elements that cross over repeatedly and are used with
each other to create exponentially better results. Product and process innovation as well as
Lean 6 Sigma operational efficiency improvement projects need a foundation of
understanding the voice of the customer, which is where the market analysis and
consumer research comes in. Market
analysis and Consumer research and
Product and Process Innovation need Lean 6 Sigma tools like statistical
analysis of variation to assure any data used for action is valid. And Lean 6 Sigma operational efficiency
improvement projects need product and process innovation tools such as QFD,
FMEA, and Taguchi design of experiments to create improvements and innovations
and validate the results.
For several firms this has
meant dramatic results, including market changing innovative new products,
dramatic capacity and cost reduction improvements, and other significant
achievements which exceeded objectives.
