Rapid EfficiencyTM - A Five-Step Approach to Eliminating Process Costs
In every process examined and measured, the non-value adding steps (those related to inspection, correction and exception processing) always total to fewer than half of the total number of steps. However, those non-value adding steps almost always consume more than half of the cycle time and a significant portion of the cost of executing that process.
Regain that lost time and money! Orion will facilitate your team through a targeted process optimization project. In two months or less your team can map, measure, streamline, redesign and define deployment plans for critical and costly business processes. Our Rapid Efficiency approach is crafted to engage 5-25 people and focus on up to three processes simultaneously. In most cases, full return on investment will be achieved within a few months of deployment.
