The Total Solution
Any organization that wishes to leverage the power of six sigma in a significant and pervasive way should approach the initiative from a systems perspective - connecting it all the way up the hierarchy to the level of corporate strategy, executive leadership and even corporate governance.
Savvi provides services, training, tools, and support to facilitate the connection of a six sigma initiative with the aims of a corporation.
Executive Leadership Services
- Executive engagement and facilitation
- Organizational assessment and alignment
- Initialization and infrastructure development
- Performance dashboard development
- Core process development and optimization
Also a critical element in a total systems approach to improvement is moving from the planning stage to the execution stage, and managing that transition with speed and precision. This is the phase of a total six sigma deployment when you begin to reap the benefits of your investment.
Savvi provides a number of products and services to help you translate your improvement intent into focused, tangible and fruitful actions.
Training and Motivation
- Champion training and support
- Master black belt training
- Black, Green and Yellow belt training
- QFD and DFSS training
- Motivation impulse events
- Use the Simmyx™ simulator to accelerate learning by applying principles and methods to an endless range of scenarios that mimic real-world circumstances.
- A new must-have tool that quantifies the direct impact of Capability, Control and Complexity on any design, 3-C's Explorer™.
- Analyze, forecast and manage a complex hierarchy of operational transfer functions to optimize products, services, processes and transactions with Prodyx™.
- Varyx™ allows you to rapidly complete 1-, 2- and 3-D linear and non-linear tolerance analyses, choosing from worst case, six sigma and Monte Carlo methods.
- Instantis® is an enterprise application that manages all aspects of six sigma projects including ideation, chartering, task and deliverable tracking, roles and assignments, and financial roll-ups.
The need for tools and technologies emerge throughout the planning, and implementation phases of a six sigma deployment. Not the least of these tools is an online learning environment that manages the low-cost deployment of knowledge to very high proportions of employees in any part of the world.
Enabling Tools
Targeted Solution
Whether you are applying lean, six sigma, or other methodologies in concert with your improvement or culture-change program, Savvi can provide affordable knowledge and skills to support you.
With the proper training, and the proper training delivery mode, you can acquire what you need, and only what you need - at a price that will satisfy your ROI expectations.
In the past, this scalable option was not feasible for companies, especially medium-sized and small companies with fewer than 10,000 employees. But now, even the smallest players have access to the same knowledge as the largest of players. The Internet brought equal access to information, and now it is bringing equal access to applied knowledge - the kind you need to compete in the marketplace.
Add to this new tools that run also off the backbone of the web and you find yourself in a little different reality than you did just five years back.
Today you can select and configure knowledge for very narrow and specialized audiences, then ensure the transfer of that knowledge to its recipients as reliably and effectively as a traditional classroom. Of course, the cost of knowledge transfer goes down dramatically as well.
With these advantages, companies of all sizes can initiate and sustain a customized, high-concentration business improvement initiative in any or all of its operating units.
