There are many improvement tools available to drive desired results. Too often they are used in a "tool of the week" process without regard for order or depth of application. Tool sets generally encompassed in the families of LEAN, Six Sigma, SPC, Quality Management, Project Management, etc, can, and are often, mis-applied. Our knowledge, experience and results help to develop a logical application of the right tools at the right time, leading to more advanced applications when process maturity and organizational understanding is appropriate. The biggest wins are often at the outset with simplest tools.
