LET’S MAKE CHANGES STICK!
COMBINING LEAN AND SIX SIGMA WITH PROJECT AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT
We can help you define and implement your operational strategy and objectives on:
- Working Capital Reduction
- Efficiency
- Empowerment
The overall process, or a specific part of it, can be improved by reducing Lead Time. Our experience covers manufacturing, service and administrative environments.
Since 2003, Altran’s Operational Excellence team has built the SLIM toolbox (Systematic Lean Implementation Method). The modular structure of SLIM can match with any of your process improvement projects.
Our objective:
Altran Operational Excellence is a service that focuses on optimizing the overall efficiency of an organization.
This covers administrative or production processes, workstations, internal logistics processes, quality organization, maintenance operations, planning strategies and methods as well as warehousing operations and alignment of these activities towards the overall operations strategy.
The technical part encompasses our own analysis techniques for analyzing the overall process in combination with known techniques, such as Six Sigma or concepts like Lean Manufacturing or Lean Office.
The Change Management part is based on leadership and change management models in combination with a clear performance management system. As such, it goes beyond the classical and psychology based change management approaches.
Our slim toolbox:
The basis to achieve results is the combination of a solid analysis of the operations, the definition of the optimal concepts of the different operations, a detailed solution within the concepts and a superior change management method.
SLIM methodology combines these elements in a single integrated approach that has been fine tuned during many years through many different projects to achieve sustainable changes:
Analysis
An expert judgment on the as-is situation, based on facts and figures.
Concept
A solid proposal for an optimized process with a buy-in and commitment from all your team members.
Plan
A clear insight on required resources and investments, as well as on returns and pay-back periods.
