Continuous Improvement<\/h1>[vc_row_inner gap=”25″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

LEAN Six Sigma<\/h3>\n

The race to improve performance and optimize practices has always been a part of everyday business life. In this regard, continuous improvement aims to gradually reduce process weaknesses, customer dissatisfaction and risk potential through an operational approach.<\/p>\n

Among the practices behind continuous improvement are the LEAN and Six Sigma tools. Each of these approaches allows us to make specific and global interventions that will promote efficiency, effectiveness and quality of production, products and services.<\/p>\n

At MELIUS, we strongly believe in the philosophy behind continuous improvement, which advocates management buy-in. By taking this stance, the organization ensures the success and sustainability of any change. This new way of thinking will encourage ingenuity, mobilization and accountability in the community.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text font_size=”20px” responsive_font_size=”true” font_color=”#4a90e2″]<\/p>\n

Optimization of operational performance<\/h1>[vc_column_text]The optimization of operational performance is based on the notions of effectiveness and efficiency. Among the tracks to observe, we can find two of the three categories of waste: Muri <\/em>and Mura<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Originating from Japanese culture, Muri<\/em> (excess) involves the overloading of personnel, facilities and inventories. On the other hand, Mura<\/em> (variability) focuses on the irregularity of equipment, employees and raw materials (suppliers).<\/p>\n

An informed look at the performance of your operations will help you achieve your ultimate goal of meeting your customers’ expectations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1631194744052{background-image: url(https:\/\/meliusconsultant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/christina-wocintechchat-com-jzonFmreWok-unsplash-1-1.png?id=321) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

Identification and elimination of sources of waste<\/h1>[vc_column_text]The most well known category of waste is Muda<\/em>, which means: unnecessary or inefficient and of no value to the customer<\/em>. There are eight sources of waste that apply to both the industrial and service sectors.<\/p>\n

These sources of waste can easily be identified by both the employees in place and by external viewers. The elimination, or at least the reduction, of these sources will promote the creation of value and thus facilitate the optimization of the company’s processes.<\/p>\n

These eight sources are: transportation, travel, overproduction, waiting, inventory, over quality, defects and finally competence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1624987854727{background-color: #4a90e2 !important;}” font_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1624987970102{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]

Implementing value-added initiatives<\/h1>[vc_column_text]In a context where the environment of organizations is changing very rapidly, companies would be tempted to implement a large number of initiatives without asking themselves certain questions. For example;<\/p>\n
