What is Process Improvement?

Process improvement is a continuous evaluation of your organization to identify value-adding components from non-value-addingones. FBR uses tools from Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, TQM (Total Quality Management) to identify these constraints and helps you come up with strategies to eliminate them. We find out how you want to maximize your company's potential and employ the tools that fit your needs.

Benefits of FBR Process Improvement

    4. Improved sustainability

Integrating people with your process: A fresh perspective on your systems

  • Step 1: FBC Opportunity Analysis: initial systems "audit" to assess how well your system works now, and where improvement might be possible in:
    • Management Control Systems (organization forecasts, plans, decision-making tools for managing the business)
    • Production Processes (what is and is not adding value in producing goods and services)
    • Management Behavior (how supervisors work and interact with employees, and the effect on productivity)
  • Step 2: Presentation of findings (savings, timelines, milestones)
  • Step 3: Implementation of plan
  • Step 4: Training and hand-over to your plant (internal sustainability)
  • Step 5: FBR follow-up to help ensure you are on course
