Years ago, Lean and Six Sigma only used to be applied in manufacturing.  Now it is revolutionising service industries - from financial services and professional services to call centres and business process centres, from front office to back office. Lean Sigma delivers fast results.
Typical benefits include:

  • Process lead times reduced by an average of 55% (Insurance processing)
  • Annual savings of 9 x project investment cost (Financial Services)
  • Customer complaints reduced by 50% (Call centre
  • Profitability increased by 35% (Utilities Services)
